History

Originally developed within the larger Mount Prospect Park, a key feature of the neoclassical landscape designed between 1904 and 1912 by Helmle, Hudswell, and Huberty – alumni and proteges of McKim, Mead, & White – the park includes structures like the Peristyle, Boathouse, Tennis House, and Willink Comfort Station.

The park's history dates back to 1866 with the acquisition of land for maintenance yards.

Previously, the area incorporated the Society of Friends’ private cemetery.

Beyond its architectural significance, the dog area utilizes rustic wooden shelters and scenic overlooks along the lake shore.

Additional features include several bridges and 800 bird houses.

In 2016, goats were employed for shrubbery cleanup within the Vale of Cashmore area.
