Warner Park

This park was dedicated in memory of Ernest N. Warner (1868-1929). An astute politician, state senator, and president of the Madison Park and Pleasure Drive Association from 1912 until his death in 1929. He is credited with making park services an integral part of city government.

In 1929 the Ernest N. Warner Memorial Park Committee was formed and began a subscription campaign to raise funds for the park. The parkland was conveyed to the city in 1937.

Marker is on Forster Drive 0.1 miles south of Troy Drive, on the left when traveling south.
