In 1875 John Arthur Harrison and his wife, Emma, purchased a land parcel of 150 acres for $3,100. On July 7, 1912 the Harrisons sold 80 acres of parkland to the City for $5,000 (half its value) with the agreement it would always remain a park. It is also the location of the annual Emancipation Celebration Picnic, held continuously for more than 145 years.
