From the City of Anoka Community Plan, 2001: “This park is directly north of the Anoka Aquatic Center. The park provides multi-purpose athletic fields for soccer, football, softball and baseball. These fields are utilized by both middle schools for after school activities and the physical education classes during the day.”

Don and Joyce (Bonnell) Sage provided the following information regarding the park. Joyce is Carl’s daughter.

For the sake of honoring Carl’s contribution to the City of Anoka, the city dedicated and named a beautiful park after him located at 7th Ave. & Bisbain St. Over the years he was very active in many different community affairs, including member of the Masonic Lodge, the Mayor of Anoka for two terms (1953 through 1961), city council member, Kiwanis Club member, and a church elder at the First Baptist Church in Anoka. He served on and worked with the Library Board, Red Cross, Halloween committee, Cancer Society, Boy Scouts, Republican Party, Historical Society and Community Hospital.

If you have any comments about the park please contact Charlie.
