Clara Belle Hamilton's Vision Restored
Over the years, residents and nearby employees have enjoyed the passive recreation provided by this little this park. However, years of drought and budgetary constraints took its toll and the park had not aged well. Thanks to the influx of grant monies and private donations, the much-needed face lift has been completed and is now again a tribute to Mrs Hamilton's generosity (see below for park history).
