How to Get to Teardrop Park#
From the World Trade Center or Cortlandt Street subway stations, walk west along Liberty Street or Vesey Street into Battery Park City; Teardrop Park sits between Murray and Warren Streets near North End Avenue. The pedestrian paths of Battery Park City make the park easily reachable on foot from the waterfront (roughly a 5-15 minute walk depending on starting point). Public buses (M9, M20) stop along West Street; avoid driving if possible.
Tips for Visiting Teardrop Park#
- Enter from the pedestrian path along Murray or Warren Streets to avoid the noisier West Street approach.
- Pause at the carved granite boulders - they are part of the play-scape and show finger-smoothed wear from years of children.
- Visit on weekday mornings when local dog-walkers and preschool groups have the park to themselves.
Best Time to Visit Teardrop Park#
Best visited in spring or autumn for pleasant weather and smaller crowds; the park is small and open year-round.
