More information on Battery Park

The park sits along one of Newport's oldest residential sections, so visitors may see the Colonial homes once owned by sea captains and boat builders. This narrow park is right along the water, providing a view of today's sailors in passing sailboats and naval ships and the Newport Bridge. Battery Park also has a place in history and was a battery of American defense against the British in the War of 1812. Expect to see visitors arriving to watch sunsets by the bridge at the end of any day.
