Doughboy Park, Memorial park in Woodside, Queens, United States
The 1.71-acre park sits between Skillman Avenue and Woodside Avenue, featuring walking paths, benches, and green spaces for community gatherings.
The land, acquired in 1893 as a play area for P.S. 11 school, became a gathering point for local soldiers before their deployment to Europe during World War I.
The bronze statue of an American infantryman, created by Queens sculptor Burt Johnson, received recognition from the American Federation of Artists in 1928.
The park provides recreational areas with seating arrangements, pathways, and trees maintained by the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation since 1957.
The park features an accurately oriented compass rose in the pavement that displays the names of ancient Greek wind gods, known as the Anemoi.
