On April 23, 1925, the directorium planned the layout of the new Carpathia Park. “The property was relatively narrow and deep, rectangular in shape. The rear acreage, furthest from 16 Mile Road, was wooded, and it was decided that the area just in front of the woods should be developed as a picnic ground. To access the picnic ground from 16 Mile, it was necessary to build a road into the property. The road, still called Carpathia Blvd. today, measured 60’ from curb to curb. A sidewalk was also planned 15’ from the curb. The Directorium placed a $4,500 limit on the construction
of the road and sidewalk.”
