This park is the boat departure point to Liberty Island and Ellis Island. This is a nice little park with a lot of friendly squirrels! So you can stroll the park before or after the visit to the Liberty Island.
Inside the park, there's Castle Clinton, the major landmark of the park. This little fort was mainly known as the American’s first immigration station and now preserved as national monument. The ticket office of the boat to Liberty island in inside this castle so you wouldn’t miss it.
There’s also The Sphere monument which was placed nearby World Trade Centre complex before the September, 11 attacks. The monument at that time was a symbol of world peace through trading. After the tragedy, it was damaged thus relocated to the park and remains as the symbol of peace and hope for the country.
This is the location of battery park which is very easy to reach by public transportation.
