Historical Information

The park is located in the Laurel Hills Neighborhood at NW 7 Street between NW 4 and 5 Avenue on 1.5-acres. A wooden split-rail fence runs along the perimeter. Laurel Hills was built in the mid-1970's. The land was previously platted for residential development and for one reason or another, didn't sell. The City's Deputy Engineer (Bill Flushing) and a former Recreation and Parks Director (Charlie Frederick) designed the park in house. In the mid-1970's, the City had a program called CETA (Comprehensive Employee Training Act). The federal government hired people and "loaned" them to municipalities with the intention that when positions became available, they would be hired full time with the City. This park was developed through this program.

The park is a small, neighborhood park consisting of open play space, a playground and basketball courts. The playground equipment was replaced in 2006.
