The Dog guarding the cache is gentle. If you pet his head he
will let you pass.
This park is named to honor Jerry Tenney (1928-1977), a
dedicated community leader who played a major role in the
development of the surrounding Glen Oaks Village apartment complex.
Born in the Bronx on March 28, 1928, Tenney attended DeWitt Clinton
High School, New York University, and Long Island University, where
he earned a Masters Degree. Tenney was a real estate financier and
investor by vocation, but spent the bulk of his later life helping
improve the garden apartment community of Glen Oaks Village in
Queens.
