Trade Land For Park Use In Amarillo Swap
Amarillo city officials swapped Oak Avenue Park for a block of land next to Glenwood Park. Oak Avenue Park, a small vacant block between Williams and Al Streets from Twenty-second to Twenty-third Avenue, was set aside as a park in 1907. The trade, arranged by Park Superintendent Mark T. Miles and the Park and Recreation Commission with landowner O. W. Harrison, will enlarge Glenwood Park and likely appear in the city budget for development plans.
