City Park in southern Manhattan, a green area that separates the waters of New York Harbor from business districts. The park was laid out in the XIX century, but since the XVII century the place was used for recreation and walks. Ferries depart from Bettery Park Harbor for Ellis Island, Staten Island and the Statue of Liberty. In the past century, artillery batteries were located on the territory, which protected the city from water.
