Situated on a high point sitting above Waterfront Park, Lake Champlain and the far off Adirondack mountains, Battery Park is an essential notable stop on the western edge of downtown. Gotten to by Battery, College and Sherman Streets. This 14-section of land noteworthy stop, deeded to the City in 1870, gives an all encompassing perspective of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks with a promenade, play area, landmarks and a bandshell. The recreation center is host to a progression of shows all through the late spring on Thursday and Sunday nights in the bandshell.

The recreation center is accessible for use by reservation. In the winter an outside skating arena is accessible for use by the general population. Worked as a military camp amid the War of 1812, American heavy weapons specialists, supported by the U.S.S. President tied down in the Burlington inlet, effectively safeguarded Battery Park against an assault by a British squadron on August 3, 1813. A beautiful gun in Battery Park recognizes this memorable fight.
