History
The park was created at the time of subdivision in 1990. During the summer of 2001, a portion of the park was cleared, a road access off Pinecrest Road was constructed, a park gate was installed and a few jump lines were formed by a contractor. Neighbourhood children were encouraged to maintain the jumps.
Information
