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.

New playground equipment, October 2010

The Chronicle 10/14/10 - New playground equipment was purchased by the City of Odebolt from the Lytton School District. The large structure was dismantled and re-constructed at its new location by workers from the North Central Correctional Facility, city employees and community volunteers. City Councilman Todd Bengford spearheaded this project and is pleased to see the end result, smiling faces.

Considerable work has also been completed on the park in  2010 by the Odebolt Betterment Committee.  Visit their blog to see descriptions and photos of landscaping and building/structure improvements.
