On December 17, 1909, the triangular parcel bounded by Convent Avenue, West 151st Street, and St. Nicholas Avenue was designated a public park by the Board of Estimate. However, while researching the 1985 reconstruction of Convent Avenue, a consulting engineer discovered that the site was never formally acquired by Parks. On November 22, 1985, the lot was transferred to Parks for development as a landscaped sitting area. The garden is named for Convent Avenue, where the Convent of the Sacred Heart was located until a fire destroyed it on August 13, 1888.
