Background

Located in the St. Anthony East neighborhood, this park was acquired in 1973 from the Minneapolis Housing Authority. The park was named for the former town on the east bank of the Mississippi River, which took its name from St. Anthony Falls. The land for a playground and a new school, Webster School, had been set aside as part of a housing redevelopment project in 1964. The site was developed primarily as a playground for use by the school and the neighborhood in 1974. The only structure at the park is a restroom building, which was constructed when the park was developed. Work in the park was completed in 1977, including seeding and sodding.

The most unusual feature of the park, in a flat section of the city, is an artificial sledding hill at the south end.
