Travis Triangle, Urban park in Queens, United States

Travis Triangle is an urban park located at the intersection of Murray Lane and Murray Street between 34th and 35th Avenue in Queens. The space features an open lawn with landscaping elements, seating edges, proper lighting, and full accessibility throughout the grounds.

The triangle was created when Murray Street and Murray Lane diverged on land long held by the Murray family. In 1932 the Board of Aldermen named it for Ira Underhill Travis, a local Civil War veteran who served as Ira Wilson in the 11th New York Volunteer Infantry, Ellsworth's Zouaves. After the subway reached Flushing in 1928, parcels too small to build on, like this one, were turned over to the Parks Department as green space.

The name honours Ira Underhill Travis, a local Civil War veteran who served under the alias Ira Wilson in the 11th New York Volunteer Infantry, Ellsworth's Zouaves. At the Marshall House Inn in Alexandria his commander was shot after pulling down a Confederate flag, and Travis kept a piece of that flag as a family souvenir. A bullet from the First Battle of Manassas stayed in his shoulder for life.

The park is well lit and fully accessible, making it welcoming at any time of day and for all visitors. The seating edges provide convenient resting spots if you want to pause and take in your surroundings.
