History

Clark Centennial Community Park resulted from a donation of land by Helen Noble Clark in 1971. Her father-in-law, George Clark (1839-1914), was an English immigrant who came to Longmont in 1873 and built a farm on east 9th Avenue. Each year until her death, Mrs. Clark gave $10,000 to the City in memory of her husband Lynn W. Clark, for further improvements to the park. The park was built in 1974.
