The Battery’s long-awaited colorful Seaglass Carousel — featuring fish instead of horses — will “definitely” open sometime next month, a Battery Conservancy spokesperson said last week at the new park feature’s preview. The carousel, open till 10 p.m., will cost $5 per ticket and no doubt draw Downtown families, tourists and couples from all over. “It’s absolutely beautiful at night,” a source said. “It’s very romantic.” The exact opening date in July is yet to be announced. Officially, Battery Park is now known as simply The Battery, under a change the city Parks Department quietly made in February. The idea is to limit confusion with Battery Park City.
