WXY’s redesign of the comfort station in Battery Park transforms an essential amenity into a welcoming, modern space. With a restored limestone façade and a contemporary roofline, the project balances historic character with a forward-looking design.

The aging comfort station needed upgrades to meet ADA standards, increase functionality, and serve as a vital stop along the Manhattan Greenway. 

The reimagined comfort station improves accessibility while enhancing natural light and user experience. Its bold new roofline and upgraded fixtures redefine the space as both practical and inviting, situated conveniently near Battery Park’s Town Green and bikeway rest area. 

WXY worked with accessibility specialists and park planners to ensure the comfort station’s design met modern needs without losing its historic character. 

The upgraded comfort station is now a key amenity in Battery Park, supporting visitors and cyclists alike while setting a standard for accessible, thoughtful design.
