Talk:The Battery (Manhattan)

message: Various authoritative sources seem to disagree on whether Castle Clinton was named after DeWitt Clinton (Mayor of New York City 1803-1815, Governor of New York State 1817-1823), or
George Clinton (Governor of New York State 1777-1795 and 1801-1804, Vice President of the United States 1805-1809).

replies: text: You beat me to it by two years! I was honestly going to request that. It would be extremely helpful to provide a map clearly delineating the area in and around Battery Park. And just figured I'd announce that I organized the placement of the pictures to allow for proper editing and aesthetics (there were three edit links bunched together as a result of all pictures being placed at the beginning of the article) and it looks alot better now.

replies: text: Ventilation for one (both?) of the tunnels under the park, the Battery Park Underpass or the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 11:36, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the info. A vent makes sense, given that the two tunnels overlap just South of the structure. I guess I was not thinking of a vent when I saw it (I was wondering if it was another secret Men in Black entrance), because other vents are so much bigger and more prominent. Of course, it could just be a vent for the Battery Park Underpass, because there is already a vent for the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel attached to Governor's Island. I just wish there was some way to document the purpose of the structure; the park conservancy website says absolutely nothing about it and there are no signs on the building. Oh well... —Kanodin 06:38, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

message: Isn't the proper full name "Historic Battery Park"? --Jackdavinci (talk) 21:31, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: "Historic Battery Park" is written on some orientation maps there, but the city parks department calls it Battery Park. Then again, the quasi-official Battery Conservancy seems to consistently call the park "The Battery" and avoid the word "park," so who knows.--Cam (talk) 04:02, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proper name 

message: Is this section really necessary?   Doesn't seem notable to list every time it's ever been mentioned in a movie, TV show or video game.   If Battery Park was an obscure location, then it might be notable to have been mentioned in popular culture, but it's a widely known location. 162.136.193.1 (talk) 20:32, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Is Battery Park federal land or just Castle Clinton NM? It could have remained federal land since colonial days but the Castle Clinton article says "...July 18, 1950, when the legislature and the governor...formally ceded ownership of the property to the Federal Government." What property? Just the area inside Castle Clinton or all of Battery Park? The quote above implies that all the land belonged to the state until 1950.
I can do some research on this but, if someone knows, it'll save me the effort and leave me free to work on other articles. --RoyGoldsmith (talk) 02:17, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Just Castle Clinton and a small bit of pavement surrounding it is federal, one acre total. The rest of Battery Park is owned by the city. 69.95.62.161 (talk) 06:01, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
