Oswego Historic Riverside Park
From 6th, 6 blocks north on Wisconsin. Thanks to the Oswego Lady's Entertainment Society, the town has Riverside Park. In 1887 the society purchased an area overrun with scrub oak and brush for the purpose of developing a park. They deeded it to the city for one dollar in 1902. In the 1930s many structures—fountain, fishpond, shelters, pool and bathhouse—were built through a Kansas Emergency Relief Committee program and the WPA. An overlook atop a bluff offers a beautiful view of the expansive Neosho River Valley. A nearby historical marker describes the land’s connection to the American Indians and the military. Narrow paved roads provide a lovely route through the park, which would make the Lady’s Entertainment Society proud. (NRHP)
