The park includes the grave of and a memorial to Herman Davis (1888-1923), a U.S. sniper during World War I.

[1] The park is located at the junction of Baltimore Avenue and Arkansas Highway 18, south of the city center.

It consists of a grassy area, with a concrete walk leading to the memorial.

Davis, a native of Manila, won distinction in the war for taking out a nest of German machine gunners with his marksmanship.

Davis was a modest man and rarely mentioned the awards he received for this and other actions (including the US Distinguished Service Medal and two French Croix de Guerre), but was called out by General John J. Pershing, who placed him fourth on a list of 100 heroes of the war.
