Clinton Park

HISTORY
Adjacent to Pinckney School, this 3-acre park was part of the original town plat in 1854. The only part of a large ravine that once stretched toward the river into West Lawrence still resides in Clinton Park The revine began being filled in 1913. In 1938, the city council approved a project not to exceed $140,000 that would include construction of several "oven," a shelter house, two toilets, and a retaining wall. The fine retaining wall exists today.

This project, completed by January of 1940, was accomplished with National Youth Administration labor and included Pinckney neighbors.
