Ralph Oliver Raymond, pioneer, physician, stockman & humanitarian, devoted his life to improving the medical & general welfare of northern Arizona's early citizens. In 1951 he established the Flagstaff Educational Foundation with two parcele of land in the downtown area of Flagstaff. Many of his holdings, including this site which was once a part of his Pump House Ranch, were added to the endowment of the Foundation upon his death in 1959. The foundation was renamed the Raymond Educational Foundation in 1965.
The Foundation donated this property to the Coconino County for park and recreational facilities. The park was dedicated on August 29th, 1977 to honor the memory of Dr. Raymond.
