In August 1980, members of the South Ridge Addition petitioned the Park and Recreation Board for a park to serve their community. For the next several years, residents kept up the pressure for their request. After negotiation with the developer, 2.0460 acres were acquired in 1988. The park is held in reserve status.
This park is in reserve status, meaning that there are no developed recreational amenities. The park is in its natural state.
The geology is Grayson Marl and Main Street Limestone of the Cretaceous. Grayson Marl consists of greenish-gray thinly interbedded limestone with nodular bits of shale, sand and fossiliferous material. The Main Street Limestone is hard, thin interbedded gray and white layers.
The soil in this park is Sanger-Urban land complex. Sanger soils were formed during the Cretaceous Period in calcareous clay marine sediments. They are now found on erosional uplands with mostly a 1 - 5 percent slope. Urban land are those soils that exhibit extension anthropogenic alteration so that the original soil is no longer recognizable (Soil Survey Staff 2020).
The reserve park has a small drainage running its length. There are scattered trees. There's some interesting wildlife in this 2 acre park. Dragonfiles and damselflies spotted include Kiowa dancer and autumn meadowhawk. When water is in the drainage, you may hear the call of cricket frogs.
