Pull off and park on the side street or a parking lot.
Liberty Park was developed per the Olmsted Plan, but in the mid-1960s freeway construction bisected the park. Liberty Park was redeveloped east of its original site. What remains today, north of I-90, is the former West Entrance to Liberty Park at 3rd Avenue and Arthur Street. This area is known as the Liberty Park Ruins.
The bisected remainder was once home to a swimming pond, walking paths, a play area, curved pergola, octagonal shelters and a pond used for wintertime ice skating. What remains are many of the original basalt walls, stair cases, and view points from an original pergola and a shelter structure.
Check out the nearby benchmark in the park as well.
