Olson Park and Campground

Olson Park and Campground was named after industrialist E.O. Olson and his wife, Bella H. Olson, who in April, 1945 donated 55.1 acres of land to the city, for use as park property. The area was officially named Olson Park in January, 1950. In October, 1956 approximately 10 acres, along County Road #59 was purchased for $3,000.00, from Genevieve E. Peters for future park site or possible well development purposes. Two additional purchases, totaling 2.498 acres, along County Road #59 were made in 1956 and 1966, from Agnes and Alvina Haack, with a small portion occupied by Welt Site #20. These additions have become known as park of Olson Park.
