Battery Park, Green space in downtown Burlington, United States
Battery Park spans 14 acres on elevated terrain with views of Lake Champlain, the Adirondack mountains, and includes a promenade, playground, and bandshell.
During the War of 1812, American gunners at Battery Park successfully defended Burlington against British forces with support from the USS President on August 3, 1813.
The park displays an 8-foot bronze statue of Civil War General William Wells and features a red oak sculpture named Greylock honoring an Abenaki Indian chief.
Visitors access the park through Battery, College, and Sherman Streets, with recreational facilities including a seasonal outdoor skating rink and summer concert venue.
According to writer Rudyard Kipling, Battery Park presents one of the two finest sunset views worldwide, with the other location being the Ngong Hills in Kenya.
