Verbal information from the city. Park was purchased with funds of the Clara Weinand estate for use as a park. It was a RV/Trailer overnight park. You can see the parking slots in the Google overhead view. These no longer exist on the ground.
This is the newest of the city's parks and is still being developed through the planting of trees and bushes, donated by area citizens in honor of their loved ones
