The park, honoring eponymous President (and former resident of Vancouver, Washington) Ulysses S. Grant, was acquired by the city in 1922.

The park is contiguous with the grounds of Grant High School, and is 19.9 acres in size.

Amenities include a large playground, dog park, athletic fields, walking paths, picnic facilities and tennis courts.

[2] Funded by donations from Cleary fans, the park was built by the Friends of Henry and Ramona.

The sculpture of Ramona is dressed in raincoat and boots, with a joyous expression, and is positioned such that she splashes in the garden's fountain.
