About This Location
University Farm Park is a six acre park located at the corner of LaGrange and Hamilton Streets. It contains a picnic shelter, picnic tables, and a playground for ages 2-5 and 5-12. University Farm Park had its birth in the creative dual use of land. Development of the University Farm Subdivision required storm water detention. This detention basin was located along a traditional drainage way. Be agreement between the Park Board and the developer, Purdue Research Foundation, the Park Board would take over the detention basin and two adjoining lots as a neighborhood park. The Park Board also purchased three additional lots, with funding from the West Lafayette Redevelopment Commission. The park is a neighborhood park. It is designed to serve the neighborhood (a twenty minutes walking distance). It's facilities are compatible with its immediate residential neighbors. The park was dedicated in October 1993.
