The Battery Labyrinth is among the many spots in New York to stop and smell the flowers. But this impressive garden right downtown is home to something even more special — a beautiful path through Battery Park in NYC that won’t confuse you as most labyrinths do. Instead, this path within the garden will stop and make you contemplate what’s come before. It was built one year after the terrorist attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001, and has become a beautiful space to walk through and contemplate our city. The next time you want to relax and walk through a lovely garden in New York, head to The Battery Labyrinth between State Street and Battery Place.
