Park History

This park property was acquired in 1962 by lease from the Alaska Railroad. As part of the lease, the Parks & Recreation Department was required to plant and maintain grass and flowers, as well as use the property as a community park. In 1965, the park was further developed with the addition of play equipment and picnic tables. In 1972, additional land was donated to the city by the Catholic Church. In the summer of 1997, new play equipment was installed with a train theme. This park was funded by a Community Development Block Grant.
