Twenty acres of the park were donated to the Foothills by
Melody Homes when the Kipling Villas Subdivision was platted
in 1973. The reaming 10 acres were acquired from R-1 schools
in 1979 in exchange for the land Foothills owned at Chief
Colorow Park. The recreation center was built in 1981. The park
was originally called Kipling Villas Park.
