George Champion designed the park around its natural landscape and public recreation. The site had mature elm forest, meadows, Lord Selkirk Creek and Red River frontage. Plans for a boat landing and marina were abandoned over riverbank erosion concerns.

  2. 1964The first pavilion was demolished to make way for a replacement.
