This park, located at the intersection of East 180th Street, Van Nest and East Tremont Avenues, was among many small public properties developed to honor the fallen soldiers of World War I. Little is known about James Young, who lived on Liberty and Sherman Streets in Morris Park, before enlisting in the Navy upon United States entry into World War I.
