History
This is our largest park and was acquired in 1996. It is named after Arthur Henry Thiesenhusen (1898-1990). He farmed on this land from 1911 to his retirement in 1966. The park was named by his wife Myrtle. The park is located on the far north-central part of the city. Park Arthur contains open agricultural land plus areas of woodlands and wetlands within a second environmental corridor.
