Battery Park Reopens!

For the last 3 years, Battery Park at the southern tip of Manhattan has been closed for a massive reconstruction. They are slowly raising the park to protect it (and Lower Manhattan) against flooding and other elements of Climate Change. The first section is completed and reopened a few weeks back and it was worth the wait!

The park now has an elevated lawn (covering the new flood wall) and terraced benches surrounded by native plants. I bet in a few years the planting will be so lush and really be amazing! The iconic promenade along the harbor and river is still there too. They installed some fun art up on the lawn and you can relax on the grass or play ball.

More of the park will reopen next year and NYers can't wait!
