Park History

This property was purchased in 1972 and publicly dedicated
in 1974. The property was previously owned by Central Alaska Utilities and used as a well site. It had been a play area for the neighborhood children, and the community wanted it to become park land.

At a community meeting in 1972, the general consensus was to keep the area as an open space park. In 1982, the community proposed to clear and develop trails, construct a seating and play area and to create a landscaped lawn area. In 2003, new play equipment and landscaping were added.
