This, for us, is the epicentre of Battery Park: the steps, the fountains, that wonderful wide bridge. Ahead is all the energy of the skatepark and behind is slow, gentle, reflective canal. Mountain views are interspersed with architecture old and new, and fynbos grows up and around street art.
The canal, the view of the city, the steps, the fountains, skateboarding, basketball, the cannons, the history.
