History

The park originated in 1971, when John Phillip Greenwell, Jr. and his sister, Mary Wallace Greenwell, donated their 167-acre (68 ha) farm to the state for use as a public park. The state subsequently purchased the adjacent 430-acre (170 ha) Bond property and added it to the park.[3]

gollark: ```mrustc works by compiling assumed-valid rust code (i.e. without borrow checking) into a high-level assembly (currently using C, but LLVM/cretonne or even direct machine code could work) and getting an external code generator to turn that into optimised machine code. This works because the borrow checker doesn't have any impact on the generated code, just in checking that the code would be valid.```
gollark: Mostly designed to stop trusting trust attacks and allow porting, but it could work.
