Located within Alton Baker Park and just south of a wooden footbridge is a freestanding brick citizen memorial with a plaque monumented in front that reads:

KEN NIELSEN GARDEN

   "A PLEASANT PLACE IN WHICH TO COMMEMORATE THE VISION AND OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP OF ONE WHO MORE THAN CARRIED HIS SHARE OF THE RESPONSIBILITY TOWARD MAKING ALTON BAKER PARK A REALITY."

KENNETH NIELSEN
LANE COUNTY COMMISSIONER
1953 - 1968

This garden couldn't be enjoyed in all its glory since we visited it in December so I'm hoping future visitors to this garden will post some nice spring and/or summer pictures.
