The park opened in July of 1986 and was named after a former city council member who had an affinity for nature.

People have been visiting what is now the park grounds for decades, and after the land was bought and developed, it's given people more reason to enjoy being outdoors.

There has been a lot of discussion about adding in a playground and a water playground for younger visitors to the park, as well as additional barbeque stations and sand volleyball courts. The park even holds events such as bird walks each month, where visitors can learn about the many species of birds that call Washington home, or the Carey Lake 5k and 10k runs.
