Battery Park, NY
Hi Simtropolitans!
Today, I will start sharing this recreacion that began some months ago. I will seek information about the various places of the city, to know better this amazing New york, hand SC4.
Many of the buildings and monuments do not have in st exchangue, and there are things I had to imagine and devise, to have a greater similarity. However, I must say that thanks to the amount of bats recreated to perfection by the many fans of SC4, motivated me to want to know, and recreate the city.
Let's start with Battery Park
I hope you enjoy
***********************************************************************************************************************************************
Battery Park is a park of 10 hectares (25 acres) located south of Manhattan bordering Financial District. It is the most important green space that includes the best view of the city of New York as the Statue of Liberty. Derives its name from the row of cannons in the seventeenth century, the British placed along State Street.
Intersection between State St. Pearl St. , and Bridge St. Building One Battery Park Plaza.

It also has a full tour of monuments with historical texts that allow tourists to learn more about the history of the city, and other statues. Among the most important monuments, it noted the Clinton Castle, completed in 1811, today used for ticket sales ferries for trips to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, formerly was used as an aquarium, and its earliest beginnings was used as strong for the invaders attacks.
You can also find there Sphere, a metal structure that was formerly simply ornamenta in the area of the twin towers and today, along with an eternal flame, is a monument in memory of those who lost their lives in the attack September 11. It is the East Coast Memorial, a sculpture in the form of eagle that honors the memory of those who died in World War II and more structures.
