Federoff Triangle. A small park, you might think. But a place brimming with local history. This triangle, nestled amidst the bustling streets of Rego Park, Queens, isn’t just a green space. It’s a tribute to Barnett and Gussie Federoff, who once called this neighborhood home. They raised their family here, close to this very spot. Gussie, born in Kiev, Ukraine, in 1889, became a vital part of the community after immigrating to America. She dedicated her time to the Washington Heights branch of Hadassah and the United Jewish Appeal. She passed away in 1967. Barnett followed a few years later in 1970. The Federoff Triangle stands as a quiet reminder of their contributions to the neighborhood. This park, dedicated to their memory, offers a moment of peace amidst the urban hustle. A place where locals and visitors can pause, reflect, and connect with the history of Rego Park. It’s a testament to the power of local communities and the individuals who shape them.
