Battery Park features Castle Clinton National Monument, a historic fort that later served as an immigration station before Ellis Island. The park is filled with memorials such as the American Merchant Mariners’ Memorial and the East Coast Memorial, honoring soldiers of World War II. Gardens like the perennial Garden of Remembrance offer peaceful spaces for reflection. The SeaGlass Carousel, a unique artistic ride, is a family favorite and symbolizes the ocean life once abundant nearby. The waterfront promenades provide spectacular views of New York Harbor.
