Calgary Park
Calgary Park

HISTORY:

Calgary Park Playground sits on land that is part of the Bridge View Park Allotment at the north east corner of Original Lot #64 in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. It once belonged to William and Catherine Fuller. When William died in 1885, his wife dispersed the property to her son Joel (see Fuller, Kain, and Kroehle).
In the mid-20th century, it would sometimes be the site of a visit from the Show Wagon, a form of traveling entertainment for children sponsored by the Cleveland Press.


QUESTIONS:

  1. What year was the park created?
  2. Why was it named Calgary?
  3. Was the park named for the street? Or was the street named for the park?
