Waldo Park - Salem, Oregon - Municipal Parks and Plazas on Waymarking.com

William Waldo, son of one of Oregon's pioneers, planted a giant sequoia here in 1872. Throughout his life he made efforts to preserve the tree in that location, and in 1936 the city created Waldo Park. At 240 square feet (!2' X 20') it is claimed that this is the world's smallest park.
