National Register Plaque . 1993 In 1993, Lake Park was entered on the National Register of Historic Places site for two primary reasons: as a "designed historic landscape" by the master landscape architect, Frederick Law Olmsted, and as the site of the Lake Park Mound, a prehistoric Indian mound of assumed ceremonial significance. National Register designation offers protection from encroachments to contributing components and encourages park stewards to protect the planned park design, its natural features (meadows, ravines, bluffs, woods) and its built features (buildings, bridges, roadways, paths and trails). |
