This park most likely draws its name from the grouping of several neighborhood elements, including “Bay” (from the neighborhood of Bay Terrace), “bridge” (from its proximity to the Throgs Neck Bridge), and “Green,” since the park is located adjacent to the Clearview Park and Clearview Golf Course. The City acquired this property in 1931 as it made way for the adjacent Clearview Expressway.
