History

 Trane Park is located on 1500 Chase Street. Trane Park was originally known as 21st Ward Playfield. In 1940 tennis courts were added to the park. By 1951 the name of 21st Ward Playfield was changed to Trane Park in honor of Reuben Trane and family. Reuben graduated from the University of Wisconsin Madison with a degree in mechanical engineering. He later went on to incorporate The Trane Company that is now located in La Crosse, WI. The 6 acre park was developed from 1952 to 1954 with grading, tree planting, installation of a watering system, and construction of a shelter and a splash pad. Development of the park was greatly assisted by a gift of $35,000 from Trane Company. Also in 1954 playground apparatus was installed, with a $1,000 donation from Trane Employees Federal Credit Union.
