Join poet Charles Waters as he gives us an overview of the Poetry Path in Battery Park City.

Welcome to the Poetry Path!

The Poetry Path features over 40 poets whose work explores the relationship between people, nature, and the urban landscape. It extends from the north end of Nelson A. Rockefeller Park to Belvedere Plaza and into Teardrop Park. You’ll discover poems on walkways, benches, railings, and banners throughout this part of Battery Park City.

The Poetry Path is the latest community partnership between Poets House and Battery Park City Authority, organizations which have collaborated creatively over many decades to bring people and poetry together.

To find more information visit Poets House at https://poetshouse.org. To find more information about this neighborhood and its free art, music, nature, and recreational programming, visit Battery Park City Authority’s website at https://www.bpca.ny.gov.
