synopsis

In 1917 the New Haven Park Commissioners contacted the Olmsted Brothers requesting their advice on the improvement of the “so-called Beaver Ponds territory”. Frederick Law Olmsted Jr. drew preliminary plans for Beaver Pond Park in New Haven, CT, in 1920 detailing proposed boundaries, circulation paths, and plantings (plan 05314-18).
