The Battery, Urban park at southern tip of Manhattan, US
The Battery extends across 25 acres of land with gardens, monuments, and pathways facing New York Harbor at the edge of Lower Manhattan.
The area transformed from Native American settlement to Dutch artillery position, then immigration center, before becoming a public park in 1823.
The Battery holds multiple memorials including the East Coast Memorial and American Merchant Mariners' Memorial, commemorating maritime and military service.
Visitors access ferry services to Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty from the park terminals, which operate daily from early morning until evening.
The SeaGlass Carousel features illuminated fish-shaped vessels rotating on multiple axes, creating an underwater experience in the middle of Manhattan.
