I was born and raised in Bay City, on Fifth Street, between Park and Trumbull, graduated from B. C. Central in 1959. I moved away to go to college and have wished to have moved back ever since. A good friend of mine keeps me in touch with my beloved neighborhood and, through your article, has enriched my knowledge of one of the most beautiful parks I have ever known. Thank you. Neal F. Moore

Regarding the statement that Carroll Park was designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, I checked with the Frederick Law Olmstead Society and they have no record of Mr. Olmstead designing anything in the Bay City area. They said many communities lay claim to his work but not all such claims are accurate.
I'm wondering if there is any documentation to back up the claim that he designed Carroll Park? It would be great if it were true, but I suspect it is just a bit of local folklore. |
