Monsignor McGolrick Park, Urban park in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, United States.

Monsignor McGolrick Park spans multiple blocks, featuring winding paths, mature trees, and a classical brick and limestone shelter pavilion from 1910.

Established in 1889 as Winthrop Park, the grounds received their current name in 1941 to honor the pastor of nearby St. Cecilia's Roman Catholic Church.

The park includes two significant monuments: a bronze victory figure commemorating World War I soldiers and a sculpture depicting the Civil War naval battle.

The grounds contain tennis courts, playgrounds, grassy areas for picnics, and recreational facilities accessible from Nassau Avenue and Russell Street.

The Monitor and Merrimac sculpture pays tribute to the USS Monitor warship, which was constructed at the Continental Iron Works near this location.
