Underneath The Park
Battery Park, due to its key location, has played an important role in the construction of transportation infrastructure. Under the park lies the following active infrastructure:
- Brooklyn–Battery Tunnel, carrying vehicular traffic to Brooklyn
- Battery Park Underpass, carrying vehicular traffic from West Street to the FDR Drive
- IRT Broadway – Seventh Avenue Line and IRT Lexington Avenue Line with a balloon loop to enable trains to turn around and switch between the two IRT lines
- South Ferry subway complex (1 N R trains)

Famous quotes containing the word park:
“Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
