Fun Facts

Pioneer Park was originally Calvary Cemetery, with over 4,000 burials, before being transformed into a public park in the 1960s.

The tombstones were moved to the park's perimeter during its conversion, but the bodies remain buried beneath the grass.

A time capsule was buried in the park in 1988, set to be opened in 2088, containing items from the local community.

Some visitors claim to have seen ghostly apparitions, attributing these sightings to the park's cemetery past.

The park hosts various events, from yoga classes to movie nights, making it a vibrant community hub.
