This small park commemorates the events of December 26, 1776, near this site:
"General George Washington divided his Continental Army of 2,400 men for a two-pronged surprise attack on the Hessian garrison in Trenton. One column under the command of General Nathanael Greene, approached the city form the northwest by way of Pennington Road. The other column, led by General John Sullivan, marched down the Old River Road (Grand Avenue - Sullivan Way) and entered Trenton from the southwest. This brilliant strategy resulted in a major military victory and became the turner point of the American Revolutionary War. Washington's resolve to take Trenton was a triumph!" [1]
