Tompkins Circle information


Tompkins Circle is a .131-acre green public space within a traffic circle in the Grymes Hill neighborhood of Staten Island, New York.[1] The circle is located in a section of the neighborhood historically known as Pavilion Hill.[2] At this traffic circle, the Tompkins Circle loop merges with Fiedler Avenue and Ward Avenue.[3]

Tompkins Circle is named in honor of prominent Staten Island resident Daniel D. Tompkins (1774-1825), who owned property in this neighborhood. A more recent resident of Ward Hill was Joe Marotta (1942-2008), a civic activist who served on several community planning boards and operated a pharmacy in Tompkinsville. Following his death in November 2008, a bench was dedicated at this park in his memory.[4]
