St. John's Burying Ground

The ground was connected with St. John's Chapel of Trinity Parish from 1834 to 1898, although many of the burials predate the cemetery's acquisition by the church.

In 1897, the cemetery was made into a public park by the city of New York.

Tony Dapolito Outdoor Pool and Community Center and Hudson Park Library were built on the old cemetery grounds.

The only remnant that remains of the park's time as a cemetery is the firemen's monument, which was erected by Engine Company 13 to Eugene Underhill and Frederick A.

The monument used to be at their grave site, but it was moved in 1898.
