Port Richmond is a neighborhood situated on the North Shore of Staten Island, a borough of New York City. Port Richmond is bounded by Kill van Kull on the north, Jewett Avenue on the east, Forest Avenue on the south, and the Bayonne Bridge on the west. It is adjacent to West New Brighton to the east, Westerleigh to the south, and Elm Park and Mariners Harbor to the west. Formerly an independent village, it is one of the oldest neighborhoods on the island. In the 19th century it was an important transportation and industrial center of the island, but this role has vanished nearly completely, leaving a largely blue collar residential area bypassed by the shift of development of the island to its interior after the 1960s. The formerly bustling commercial center along Richmond Avenue (now Port Richmond Avenue) had been largely abandoned at the time, but many small businesses have opened in the area since the late 20th century. Port Richmond is part of Staten Island Community District 1 and its ZIP Code is 10302. Port Richmond is patrolled by the 121st Precinct of the New York City Police Department.

Elm Park is the name of a small park in the Port Richmond section of Staten Island, one of the five boroughs of New York City, United States. The park is located across Innis Street from Port Richmond High School. The name "Elm Park" is sometimes used to denote the area from its namesake westward for several blocks, lending its name to the former Elm Park Station on the North Shore Branch of the Staten Island Railway. The station was situated directly beneath Morningstar Road. Passenger service on this branch of the railway was halted in 1953; a dilapidated remnant of the station's platform still exists, but the stairways leading to the street have been removed. At various times, the neighborhood was known as Jacksonville (c. 1830) and Lowville (c. 1850). Its present name was given to it by a local physician, Dr. John T. Harrison, and refers to the elm trees that could be found on the doctor's estate. The last exit on New York State Route 440 before the Bayonne Bridge is in Elm Park, which also contains one of two Catholic cemeteries on Staten Island named St. Mary's Cemetery; the other cemetery, located in Grasmere, is much larger than the Elm Park cemetery. This often causes confusion. In 2008 Senator Charles Schumer and other Staten Island representatives proposed a Park and Ride under the bridge, for users of bus service to Bayonne, New Jersey. Residents have been opposed to this move, yet local businesses, according to the Staten Island Advance, support it.

The Reformed Protestant Dutch Church on Staten Island, also known as the Reformed Church on Staten Island (RCSI), is the oldest corporation on Staten Island still engaged in its original enterprise. The Congregation is continuous since 1656. The Church has been on the same spot, in what today is Port Richmond Staten Island, since 1680. The town grew up around the Church, not the other way around. The Archives date to1688. The Burial Place and Baptismal Records date to 1696. The first Church was most likely a barn. The second church, built in 1717, was destroyed by the British during the American Revolutionary War. The third church was built in 1787. The current, and fourth church, was built in 1844 in the Greek Revival style. It is a brick building set on a fieldstone foundation. The front facade features a portico with twin sets of flanking brick pilasters and a central pair of fluted Doric order columns. In 1844 the Congregation reoriented the entrance to what is today Port Richmond Avenue thanks to land donated by Daniel Tompkins, Vice President under James Monroe and founder of Tompkinsville. RCSI Congregants played pivotal roles in American history. The Burial Place has 45 heroes of the wars that created America: The American Revolution, The War of 1812, and The Civil War. One of the Congregation, Cornelius Vanderbilt, amassed one of the world's greatest fortunes and created many laws and procedures that characterize our the modern business world. The 1844 Church and 1696 Burial Place are New York City Landmarks. The site was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 and is a National Historic Site nominee. There is detailed information on the entire history of the Congregation from its role in early Staten Island, through the creation of our nation, to today at olddutchchurchnyc.org. The continuity is extraordinary. Many descendants of the early congregation still live in Port Richmond, on Staten Island, and in neighboring states. Eighty-three Staten Island streets are named for families in the Burial Place. The total rises to 125 streets with the names of families in the Baptismal Book. One current Congregant's family has been with the Reformed Church since 1568 in the Netherlands. In 1730 that same family called the Rev. Cornelis Van Santvoord (1686-1752. RCSI Domini from 1718 to 1740.) to serve their newly formed congregation in Bensalem PA.

Clove Lakes Park is a public park in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Staten Island in New York City.Clove Lakes Park has a rich natural history with valuable ecological assets and a few remnants of the past. Chief among them are the park's lakes and ponds, outcroppings of serpentine rocks, and Staten Island's largest living thing, a 119-foot-tall (36 m) tulip tree. Clove Lakes Park is home to many species of indigenous wildlife. Visitors can see fish such as black crappie, brown bullhead, bluegill, emerald shiner, pumpkinseed, largemouth bass, and carp; birds such as red-tailed hawk, belted kingfisher, double-crested cormorant, red-winged blackbird, Canada goose, heron, egret and mallard; as well as reptiles and amphibians, like the common snapping turtle, eastern painted turtle, red-eared slider, and occasionally even the red-backed salamander. The park is also home to mammals such as eastern gray squirrel, muskrat, eastern cottontail, and eastern chipmunk. The park is known for its cozy picnic accommodations and boating. Besides strolling down trails and paddling on its bodies of water, visitors can experience the park as a more modern recreation zone. Several baseball diamonds, a soccer field, basketball court, playgrounds, and a football field dot the park's landscape. The Staten Island World War II Veteran's Memorial Ice Skating Rink is an outdoor rink located in what could be called the "active" part of the park, close to its other fields and courts. The park also contains a restaurant overlooking Clove Lake, and the borough headquarters of the city's Department of Parks and Recreation. The park consists of three lakes: the main one is Clove Lake, which runs off to Martling Lake, and then to Brooks Lake. The Staten Island Expressway, part of Interstate 278, built in 1964, goes through a cleft just south of the park, connecting the then newly-built Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge in the east with the Goethals Bridge in the west. When first proposed, the expressway was to be named the Clove Lake Expressway.
