Battery Park

21-acre park at Manhattan's tip with harbor views and Statue of Liberty ferries

Address State Street to New York Harbor

The 21-acre park at the southern tip of Manhattan is named for the cannons built to defend the harbor after the American Revolution. Castle Clinton — now the place to buy Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island ferry tickets — sits at its center. Pull up a bench for panoramic views across the harbor toward New Jersey and Staten Island; on a clear day it's one of the finest free views in the city.
