Juliana Park was built in 1991 at the celebration of Ada's 100th birthday. This is a little park area in downtown Ada made possible by donations of local citizens and businesses.

The park contains a fountain dedicated to Byrds Mill Spring which provides water to the City, and adjacent to a walkway with donated pavers, a time capsule is topped with a granite cube with a slanted face. Engraved on the monument are the words:
