Residents of Battery Park City gather to view the display for Liberty Weekend in July of 1986. The celebrations included a “Great Blimp Race” that ran from the George Washington Bridge to Battery Park and “Operation Sail”, a naval revue down the Hudson River.
“From coastal resiliency and sustainable green practices to the preservation of affordable housing, world-class public art, and vibrant, year-round programming in award-winning public spaces, Battery Park City leads the way in many of the measures that makes cities livable."
