Lentol Triangle

Lentol Triangle is a small triangular park in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, one of the many traffic triangles and small green spaces that punctuate the Brooklyn streetscape.

Greenpoint, Brooklyn's northernmost neighborhood, has a strong Polish-American heritage dating to the late 19th century. Polish restaurants, bakeries, and the towering spire of St. Anthony of Padua Church define the neighborhood's character.

The neighborhood has attracted a growing creative community alongside its Polish residents, with artists' studios, coffee shops, and independent businesses mixing with the traditional Polish establishments.

Small triangular parks like Lentol Triangle serve an outsized role in dense neighborhoods, providing a patch of green, a bench, and a moment of respite on blocks that are otherwise fully built up.

Lentol Triangle serves the Greenpoint community as a modest but valued green space in a neighborhood where Polish heritage and contemporary creativity coexist on every block.
