Triangle 54

Triangle 54 is a .206-acre public park located in the Blissville section of the Long Island City neighborhood of Queens, New York. This traffic triangle is bound by 48th street on two sides and 54th Avenue on its north side. The park contains ten trees and a memorial flagstaff in its center that dates to 1930. On its granite base is inscribed, "Erected by the citizens of Laurel Hill in memory of those who died in the World War." Laurel Hill is an old name for this area, which still appears on the map in Laurel Hill Boulevard, which runs a few blocks to the north of this site.^[1]

In the years after World War Two, that war was added to the inscription, along with the Korean War and Vietnam War.
