The official name of the park is Albert Anderson Memorial Park; it is still sometimes referred to by the original name of Redmond City Park.[2] Albert Anderson was key to the modern redevelopment of the park through his community work regarding park projects and volunteer coordination.[2] Two cabins are within the park; they were formerly used for public events and services, hosted the Redmond Senior Center, and housed various other city administrative offices prior to the development of city hall.[2]
