Macri Triangle, Urban park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, US.
Macri Triangle is an urban park at the intersection of Meeker Avenue, Union Avenue, and Metropolitan Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with green spaces and seating areas. The site is shaped by the three adjacent streets and serves as a small resting spot within the dense neighborhood.
The park was established in 1946 when New York City created space as part of the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway construction project. Building demolitions along the planned route made room for this new public space.
The park contains a Second World War memorial cared for by the American Legion Post 1751, showing the neighborhood's connection to military veterans. Visitors can find quiet moments here while observing the memorial and its surroundings.
The park has multiple access points from the surrounding streets and provides seating for resting. Its location at a street intersection makes it easy to reach from different parts of the neighborhood.
Local Law 54 named the park after Luigi A. Macri in 1971, a Williamsburg resident who served with American Legion Post 1751. This naming honors his contribution to the community and his connection to neighborhood veterans.
