This small plaza in Woodside, Queens, was opened in April 1922 and named after Sergeant Carl R. Sohncke, a local veteran who was killed in action in France during World War I. A 2024 renovation restored this town square for residents and commuters, who can relax near this busy transportation hub or dine out at one of the bistro-style outdoor tables. The park comes alive during the holiday season, as a tree and festive display of lights are placed in the park as part of a neighborhood tradition.
