LoCicero Triangle, Public green space in Bellerose, Queens, United States.
LoCicero Triangle is a small public green space in Bellerose, Queens, situated at the intersection of three major streets. The space includes benches, trees, and shrubs that provide shelter and seating for nearby residents.
The triangle came into existence in 1939 when construction of the Cross Island Parkway cut through the existing street grid. This major road project left behind an unusable triangular parcel that was later developed as a public space.
The triangle is named after a neighborhood artist whose work appeared in the Metropolitan Museum of Art during his youth. Visitors can read the memorial plaque that honors this connection and tells the story of local creative talent.
The space is easily accessible from the surrounding streets and provides a quiet spot to sit despite nearby traffic. The benches and trees create a sheltered setting within this small public parcel.
The artist the space is named after served in Hawaii for several years during World War II, creating aerial maps for the US Army. His military service and artistic talent made him a notable figure whose legacy is honored in this small corner of Queens.
