There is no record for the construction of the original section of the community recreation center, called a clubhouse at that time.

The clubhouse was expanded to include a canteen to serve the recreational interests of the boys and girls attending Jordan High School and the freestanding building removed.

In 1973 a Neighborhood Facilities Center was built with federal grants and houses programs of the Department of Health and Human Services and the Council Field office.

The park includes three baseball diamonds, a soccer field overlay on the baseball diamonds and a separate soccer field, a playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, and a skate park built in 2004.

The memorial's plaque commemorates 103 local area soldiers who perished in the Vietnam War.
