35th Division Park is named for the Army National Guard 35th Division originally organized in 1917-1919 and located at Camp Doniphan, adjacent to Fort Sill in Lawton. The 35th was operational again in 1935 - 1963, and is currently activated at Ft. Leavenworth, KS. The park is a full block in size and is bounded on the north by NW Dearborn, with NW Columbia on the south, and between 5th and 6th Streets.

This is a neighborhood park, with no parking facilities. On the southwest corner is a wading pool, and there are two tennis courts and a playground on the north side. A gazebo stands next to the tennis courts. The park was constructed in the 1930's with a WPA appropriation.
