Street Art NYC Rounds Up Battery Park's Captivating Public Art

Battery Park is one of those places you tend to avoid in the City due to the overcrowding of tourists, painted statue of liberty breakdancers and $5 hot dog stands. If you end up in the park thought, take a look around at some of the impressive public art and sculptures on display year-round.

As the line between street art and public art continues to blur, we find ourselves increasingly intrigued by the range of public art that surfaces in NYC parks. What follows is a sampling of what we’ve captured these past few months in Battery Park.
