For over 50 years, the Basilio Dente family operateda corner grocery store on this spot.

The centerpiece of this small park is a monument to Italian-Americans, represented as a stoneworker (large numbers of Italian stoneworkers settled here to work in the granite industry). The park itself is in honor of all local residents.
