A planned residential community, Battery Park in New York City is situated on Manhattan’s southern tip. It features Castle Garden, the first immigrant depot in the world. Well before Ellis Island was constructed, millions of immigrants were ferried to the Battery to be processed at Castle Garden. The park, east of the West Side Highway and the Hudson River to its west, offers expansive views from the shoreline of the Hudson. Battery Park provides ferries for tourists visiting Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Being located on the waterfront, the park provides an idyllic place for those wanting to hike or bike along the trails here.
