• The article is new, meets size requirements, and meets Wikipedia inclusion standards. The content seems to not be copied from anywhere else (I spot checked) and so I am going to assume that nothing is plagiarized here. Overall the article is well presented with nice pictures, appropriate sections, and encyclopedic content. Some of the sources used are primary sources, but they are used in a limited way and tied to reliable government data, so I see no problem with this especially considering that this content only makes up a small part of the article.

The hook proposed is the right length (about 150 characters), interesting, and formatted properly. I see that the article creator also uploaded their own pictures of this park and one could have been used in this nomination, but no picture was suggested. If the leading picture in the article were part of this DYK then I would have approved it as complying with Wikipedia's content requirements. Blue Rasberry (talk) 16:05, 27 September 2014 (UTC)
