This tiny park which serves as part of the approach to the Washington Bridge is named in honor of World War I soldier Corporal Richard J. McNally. McNally lived at 392 Fort Washington Avenue in Washington Heights. He served in Company M of the 107th Infantry, and was killed in action on September 29, 1918, shortly before hostilities ceased.
