 IN PROGRESS 

Olive Street Park

About

The lot, measuring 80 feet by 120 feet, was donated to the city in 1909 by the Ford, McKee and Woods families with the deed stipulating: “forever for use as a public park.” Except the proposed pocket park has yet to be built, much to the dismay of descendants of the three families as well as Bankers Hill residents.

​

Update: A ground breaking ceremony was held early in 2023 with a completion date of late 2023. The park will include a children's play area, exercise equipment and an AIDS Memorial.
