Residents of Battery Park City gather to view the display for Liberty Weekend in July of 1986. The celebrations included a “Great Blimp Race” that ran from the George Washington Bridge to Battery Park and “Operation Sail”, a naval revue down the Hudson River.
"Battery Park City and the Authority are not just about the buildings – it’s about the character of the community that has developed over time. Public space has had a new renaissance in New York City, but here in Battery Park City is where it started."
