The Battery, formerly known as Battery Park, is a historic public park located at the southern tip of Manhattan in New York City. Covering 25 acres, it offers stunning views of New York Harbor and the Statue of Liberty. The park is rich in history, dating back to the early Dutch settlement of New Amsterdam when it served as a fortified position with artillery batteries, hence its name. Today, The Battery features beautifully landscaped gardens, recreational spaces, and notable landmarks such as Castle Clinton, which has served various roles from fortification to immigration station.
