Battery park can be seen along the highway in NYC. It's a really nice place to go rollerblading, bike riding, or to check out during your lunch break. More

This was a nice little park, close to the Statue of Liberty and also close to the 9/11 Memorial. More

At the risk of ruining this idyllic little place, go visit if you want a quiet riverside walk. It has the most magical feeling, with great views across the water. To really emphasise the peace and quiet, you end up (if you go North - South) at the queues for the ferry to Ellis Island - and you are quickly... More

Every year the Tribeca Film Festival has a "Drive-In" theater film in the park. It's a beautiful location, with an amazing sunset. More

A lot of us don't know that the sphere from the plaza in front of the twin towers survived and now sits in Battery Park. You can see where pieces of the building hit it and got damaged.

We started at the Staten Island Ferry, then went to Battery Park, to ultimately end up at the Museum of Jewish Heritage. The park is beautifully maintained. Lots of open walkways. Great views of the Statue of Liberty as you walk along. A great place to go on a beautiful day. More
