“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."
This quiet plaza — named after former Police Department Chaplain Monsignor John J. Kowsky — features a small playground for toddlers, a shady bosque and picnic tables. Popular with both dog owners and passersby, the dog run sets a new standard for imaginative canine exercise. Mounds and water-filled bowls allow dogs to jump, perch and splash.
