Garlinge Triangle

Park · Maspeth, New York

A 0.008-acre triangle, Park ID Q019, holding a monument to the soldiers and sailors of the neighborhood who died in combat, along with a flagpole and World's Fair benches atop hexagon block pavement.

History

The parkland commemorates the soldiers from the Maspeth area who gave their lives in World War I. Its namesake, Private Walter A. Garlinge, whom NYC Parks calls the first resident of Maspeth to fall in the war, was killed in action on September 2, 1918. The architect Paul C. Hunder constructed the monument in 1931. The park's sign also records that Maspeth was settled by workers and their families from Brooklyn and Long Island City as factories and industry developed in the region, and that Cord Meyer established the Acme Fertilizer Company, which brought workers into Maspeth.
