Set atop a hill in Teardrop Park North, nestled a leafy courtyard in the heart of Battery Park City, the Teardrop Park water play area is a picturesque and popular destination on hot days for kids of all ages.
After years of use and enjoyment by the local community, the surface of the water feature and wooden decking of the adjacent overlook platform have worn down. As a result, BPCA now working to replace the waterproof surface and install Ipe (also known as Brazilian Walnut) wooden decking on the platform. Work is scheduled for completion for early June, in time for the water feature to be activated for the summer season ahead!
