A Vision for Columbus Park

Back in the late 40's

there were Army Barracks that were

converted into apartments to house

returning War Veterans 

and their families.

The  area was called Columbus Park. 

Sometime in the middle fifties the Army Barracks

were demolished.

After the Army Barracks were demolished, there 

was a vision to build a park on the empty lot.
