Marker text reads:
Edwin Warner (1870-1945) succeeded his brother Percy on the Park Board in 1927 and served for eighteen years. He personally directed the acquisition of most of the Warner Park acreage and supervised WPA development of the property. Warner organized a major Victory Garden program in the park during WWII. Park land west of Old Hickory Blvd. was renamed in his honor in 1937.
The Park and sign are located off TN Hwy 100 (Vaughns Gap Road) in Brentwood. Parking is available on the side of the road near the sign. As always, be aware of your surroundings.
