Stroll through Battery Park City on any day of the year and you’ll find flower beds, lawns, plants and trees of many different species—even in the depths of winter one can find flowers in sheltered spots. The Battery Park City Parks Conservancy maintains a list of plants, birds and fish that can be found all throughout the neighborhood.
"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."
