Odebolt City Park

Located on Park Avenue between 5th and 6th Streets, the park was formed in 1881 when the railroad donated a block of land to the city.  Majestic trees provide an almost constant cool canopy on a hot day.

The park was once named Hanson Park after Henry Hanson, an early resident who was encouraged planting of trees in Odebolt, and donated many trees to the park,

The pillars at the  northwest entrance date from 1911.
