Living in Sunnyside
Two large city parks — Silver Lake Park and Clove
Lakes Park — form the eastern and western boundaries,
respectively, of Sunnyside, which is named for a boarding
house that was established there in 1889; the vicinity
had previously been known as Clovenia, owing to its
location in what was then referred to as the Clove Valley,
whose name survives in Clove Road, which runs from West
Brighton to Grasmere, and is one of the neighborhood's
principal thoroughfares.
Prior to the advent of cable television service, Sunnyside
was noted for having the worst television reception
on Staten Island, a fact resulting from its being hemmed
in by several hills, including Grymes Hill, Emerson
Hill and Castleton Hill, the latter separating Sunnyside
from neighboring Castleton Corners. In November of 1970
a public ice skating rink opened in Clove Lakes Park;
soon after this it became the scene of a race riot between
groups of Italian-American and African-American youths,
this incident highlighting the tensions that have long
existed between these two groups in New York City and
a host of other cities throughout the northeastern United
States.
Sunnyside was once the home of a campus of the College
of Staten Island; located at the foot of Emerson Hill,
in 1993 this campus was moved to the grounds of the
former Willowbrook State School, and an advanced-placement
high school, Michael Petrides, took its place.
A large percentage of Sunnyside's residents are civil
service workers, this demographic trait being typical
of many Mid-Island neighborhoods.
