This park was the site of a watering tank on the old St. Louis and San Francisco ("Frisco") Railroad line. Frisco Pond, which is a main feature of the park, was once a major source of water for the railroad. Prominently displayed in the park is Frisco Engine 1501, the "Blue Bonnet Special." This locomotive was built in 1923 at a cost of $70,000, and was taken out of service following World War II after logging a total of 1,762,964 miles. In 1955 it was granted to Phelps County as a historical exhibit. The locomotive is displayed with a coal car and a 50-foot passenger coach that was built in 1883. Stealth may be required, as this park's location (surrounded by off-campus housing) makes it a favored relaxation spot for students from the University.
