Description

Batteriet, tidligere kendt som Battery Park, er en 25 acres offentlig park beliggende i den sydlige ende af Manhattan Island i New York City, med udsigt over New York Havnen. Den grænser op til Battery Place mod nord, State Street mod øst, New York Havnen mod syd, og Hudson-floden mod vest. Parken indeholder attraktioner som en gammel fæstning ved navn Castle Clinton; flere monumenter; og SeaGlass Carousel. Det omkringliggende område, kendt som South Ferry, indeholder flere færgeterminaler, herunder Staten Island Ferrys Whitehall Terminal samt bådudkørsel til Frihedsgudinden National Monument.

Parken og det omkringliggende område er opkaldt efter de artilleribatterier, der blev bygget i slutningen af det 17. århundrede for at beskytte bosættelsen bag dem. I 1820'erne var Batteriet blevet en underholdningsdestination, med omdannelsen af Castle Clinton til et teatersted. I midten af det 19. århundrede blev den moderne Batteri Park bygget, og Castle Clinton blev omdannet til et immigrations- og toldcenter. Batteriet var almindeligt kendt som ankomstpunktet for immigranter til New York City indtil 1890, da Castle Clinton immigrationscenter blev erstattet af et på Ellis Island. Castle Clinton stod derefter vært for New York Akvarium fra 1896 til 1941.
