Teardrop Park, Public park in Battery Park City, Manhattan, United States
The 1.8-acre park features a 27-foot bluestone wall, water play areas, sandboxes, and elevated pathways between residential buildings at Warren Street and River Terrace point.
The site transformed from empty landfill in the 1970s to a developed green space in 2004, marking the continuous expansion of Battery Park City's residential district.
Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates incorporated native New York plants and local stone materials to create spaces that reflect northeastern United States natural landscapes.
Children access the tall slide through multiple climbing routes while parents observe from amphitheater seating near two distinct sand play areas.
Over 16,000 plants and trees populate this urban space, with irrigation systems using recycled water from surrounding buildings to maintain the vegetation.
