Why We Cherish this Landscape - It's a place we can come together with family and friends, to play golf, soccer and baseball. It's a place connected to our neighborhoods and a wonderful place to either picnic with your family, or walk a fussy baby. It's a part of our history, a part of Kessler's Famous Boulevard System.
What this landscape contributes to the Fort Wayne area - This park has many great amenities, like swings and other play equipment, tennis courts, trails, floral areas, a replica of Ab Lincoln's Birth Cabin, and a cable foot bridge among other features.
