This New York City public public park in Queens is not deemed Short for its size (a scant .01 acre), but is so named for Albert E. Short, a former Queens Assistant District Attorney known for prosecuting bootleggers, extortionists and juvenile delinquents. Park benches surround the fenced in spot of green, providing seating for neighborhood residents, commuters waiting for the subways that rumble overhead, visitors to PS 1 down the road, and perhaps a juvenile delinquent or two.
