“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."
NOTE: Wagner Park is closed as part of ongoing construction for the South Battery Park City Resiliency Project. It is scheduled to reopen to the public on July 29, 2025.
The park is named in honor of Robert F. Wagner, Jr., son of three-term New York City Mayor Robert F. Wagner (1954-1965), and distinguished civil servant who helped negotiate Battery Park City’s 1979 Master Plan.
