Rice Park—How It Changed!

An account of the early years of Rice Park, which begins with the donation of the land for the park to the city and its early neglect. Later the importation of squirrels, the problems of cows, and rug-beating all had an impact on the park, but in time it became a beauty spot. Rice Park declined after World War II, but it was rescued and revived in the 1960s.
