About the Location
Park History
Originally created in the 1970s, the park was established on land that had been cleared for a planned highway extension that was ultimately abandoned due to community opposition.
It was named after Otto Henderberg, one of the local activists who helped lead the fight against the highway project. The park's creation and name serve as a reminder of successful grassroots activism that helped preserve the character of the Swillburg neighborhood.

A gazebo in the park contains a mosaic commemorating the park's history and the Swillburg community.
