On 14 November, 1987, Pecan Creek
Park was dedicated. A seven-year project of the Woman’s Council,
Pecan Creek Park extends for 10 blocks --12 acres-- along Pecan
Creek. The park included trails, six clear span arch bridges, three
cameo recreational areas, multi-purpose pavilions, playground equipment,
and picnic areas. The park headquarters was located in the oldest
commercial building in Hamilton, a restored stone building which
originally was a grist mill on Pecan Creek. Included in the project
were Schadler Meadow--featuring playground equipment, picnic areas,
and restrooms, north of the municipal swimming pool; Park Plaza--pavilion,
specially-designed lighting for night-time use, south of park
headquarters; and Schrank Park--pavilion, restrooms, hillside
slide, swings, and picnic area.
