About the Location
History and Heritage
Established in 1923, the park spans 0.92 acres and has been serving the community for a century. The park was donated by Sylvanus F. Bowser, a successful industrialist, inventor, and philanthropist, along with his wife Sarah. They gifted this land to the city on the condition that it remain a place of relaxation and enjoyment for residents and their children.
