A new reason to travel down to Battery Park City just popped up.<\/p>\n

Months after the 3.5-acre Robert F. Wagner Jr. Park reopened in July following a two-year renovation project,\u00a0the Wagner Park Pavilion, the park’s central structure, is now officially accessible. The\u00a0new destination offers a free, publicly accessible rooftop that provides visitors with panoramic views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and the Hudson River.<\/p>\n

RECOMMENDED:<\/strong> This beloved NYC waterfront park just got a $300 million makeover<\/a><\/p>\n

Located at the southern tip of\u00a0Battery Park City<\/a>, the reimagined Wagner Park\u00a0boasts a 63,000-gallon cistern to recycle rainwater, a buried floodwall\u00a0meant to defend against\u00a0another\u00a0Superstorm Sandy and saltwater-friendly gardens\u00a0that will\u00a0flourish\u00a0even as tides rise. It’s all part of\u00a0the Lower Manhattan Coastal Resiliency initiative, engineered to combat climate change.<\/p>\n

As\u00a0Battery Park City Authority president (BPCA) and CEO Raju Mann put it, “opening the Wagner Park Pavilion reminds us of the reality that underlies this significant milestone in BPCA\u2019s ongoing resiliency work. Not only are we dedicated to creating a more resilient lower Manhattan that can withstand the storms to come, we also want to create beautiful public spaces for all to enjoy. Two goals perfectly encapsulated in the new pavilion.”<\/p>\n

Designed by Thomas Phifer and Partners, the\u00a0Wagner Park Pavilion sits atop two sloped gardens and can be accessed by either Battery Place or the waterfront esplanade. Arched vaults\u00a0serve as gateways to the park, framing views of the Hudson River and\u00a0of\u00a0the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.<\/p>\n

The Wagner Park Pavilion also boasts a net-zero carbon certification given sustainable features like geothermal heating and cooling, stormwater reclamation systems, LED lighting equipped with\u00a0occupancy sensors, window shades and high-performance glazing, low-flow fixtures and recycled building materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still to come are a\u00a0classroom\/community space and a restaurant, both of which are expected to be finished and open\u00a0to the public in 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new reason to travel down to Battery Park City just popped up.
