Fun Facts

In the early 20th century, Tappen Park served as a central marketplace for local farmers and vendors, making it a vital part of Staten Island's community life.

The park is home to the Staten Island Borough Hall, a historic building constructed in 1906 that still stands today as a testament to the area's rich history.

The park is named in honor of James Tappen, a local soldier who served in World War I and was recognized for his bravery.

The structures within Tappen Park, including the Borough Hall, feature a distinct Beaux-Arts architectural style, popular in the early 1900s.

Throughout the year, Tappen Park is a venue for various community events, including concerts, festivals, and family-friendly activities, fostering a sense of community.
