Since their opening, the parks of Battery Park City have provided an easy escape for humid New York City afternoons. Situated right along the water, the parks draw in cool breezes off the Hudson River to ameliorate the heat.
“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."
