Mission Statement
The Battery Conservancy designs, builds, maintains, and enlivens the historic Battery, the 25-acre public park at the southern tip of Manhattan, in partnership with the City of New York’s Department of Parks and Recreation.
About This Cause
100% of the park’s maintenance, gardens, and educational programming are funded through private donations. The Battery Conservancy was founded to bring a new vision and focused resources to the park and has raised over $150M from private and public sources. A group of civic-minded New Yorkers driven by a passion for the city’s history and future came together in the mid-1990’s to reclaim this storied landscape from neglect and dilapidation. They continue to spearhead the revitalization of the city’s birthplace inspired by an ethos of environmental responsibility, historical authenticity, design excellence, innovative education, and openness to all. Today, The Battery, the thriving green heart of Downtown New York, is a model of conservation and biodiversity with vast public gardens, organic urban farms, toxin-free lawns, extraordinary SeaGlass Carousel, and Playscape, the innovative 1.5-acre playground.
