Battery Park reopens Saturday
Visit the restored Battery Park and celebrate its re-opening with free music and entertainment. Youth and adults can compete in a tennis tournament and a three-on-three basketball tournament. Also on tap are games and arts and crafts for the kids and a presentation on the park’s history. Citizens are invited to participate in the park’s oral history project and record their memories of Battery Park. Mayor Dwight C. Jones and other city officials will speak and officially open the park at 10:30 a.m. The swimming pool will open at 1 p.m.
Don’t forget to bring your fond memories of the park with you.
Sorry that I wasn’t aware of the reopening. I spent so much of my time in that park, laughing, playing tennis, falling in love, swimming and just hanging out waiting for my life to start. Cecilia
