Hansen Park, the small green space located at the south end of Doc’s Town, was named for Irving Hansen. Hansen was a founding member of the Kinetic Club and first manager of the Frontier Days Board.

Mr. Hansen's fondness of trees and shrubs and the over-abundance of trees in his nursery resulted in the establishment of this park.

The ornamental crab, outside the south gate of Hansen Park, is a hybrid from Mr. Hansen's own yard and is the only one in existence.

Visitors flock to Hansen Park every spring to take pictures with the blooms of this beloved tree.
