When I was born there was a wooden playground in the park, in 2001 it was torn down and another playground was developed closer to Kelley school. In 2005 (or sometime around that year) the plaque was put in with the bushes surrounding it.
I hope you enjoy your visit here and make sure if you have time to walk around the trails that have been put in my the Village workers since 2005. There is a sign describing the flow of Military Run on the East side of the park. Since the entrance to the East side becomes a one-way and is near both school buildings, the plaque itself was put on the west side!
