The park was donated in 1929 by Mr. and Mrs. S. Foster Hunt in memory of Mrs. Hunt's daughter by her first marriage Constance Witherby (1913–1929).[3] It was landscaped by then-Superintendent of Parks Ernest K. Thomas. The park occupies the space between Waterman Street and Pitman Avenue, across from the Salvation Army. It is a small, heavily wooded park (just over 100,000 square feet)[3] with many trees and a few park benches. The centerpiece of the park was once a bronze sculpture, called "A Memorial to Young Womanhood (or The Spirit of Youth)", by sculptor Gail Sherman Corbett (1871 – 1952). The sculpture depicted a young girl wearing a windblown dress, in homage to the spirit of young Constance[3] who died of heart failure just before her 16th birthday while climbing in the Swiss Alps. The statue was dedicated in 1933[3] and removed sometime "towards the end of the 20th Century".[4] The sculpture was moved to its new home on Blackstone Boulevard near its intersection with Clarendon St.[4] See also
