Weirdly creepy at night. Zero camping for homeless citizens here. And the park ranger Neil is a con artist who likes "helping the homeless" move camps that are more likely"legal in the eyes of the state/town" then harassing the people till they either vacate or abandon the site and belongings, if not he will TRESPASS THEM. AND move you along somewhere else and do it all over again. He steals belongings out of people tents. Tries to claim their property as "STOLEN" but don't worry cuz he will RETURN ur belongings he took for authority to catch you with. Battery park is a nice park for children and all but as for others .. well I say just watch out for that overly helpful cheery park ranger Neil. He isn't what he makes himself to be. AT ALL.
