Zion Triangle Park is for whole community, local leaders emphasize at memorial ceremony
Zion Triangle Park in Brownsville carries a deep history in the community, one that is now being taught to the youngest generation of schoolchildren. The students at Brownsville Ascend Charter School, whose building stands directly behind Zion Park, actively participated in a pre-Memorial Day ceremony at Zion Park on Wednesday morning.
The Brooklyn Jewish Historical Initiative and the Greater New York Chamber of Commerce were principal sponsors of this program.
Zion Triangle Park sits on Legion Street, between Pitkin and East New York avenues. Ascend Charter School has its address on Pitkin Avenue and was, at one point, a Loew’s movie house. Zion Park dates back to 1911.
