History

In 1975 land was donated by Howard Hirshey, for what is now known as Waynedale gardens. Mr. Hirshey stipulated that the lots would only be used for park purposes with a reverter clause to the Theodore Hirshey Memorial Scholarship Fund established by the Fort Wayne Bible College. His total donation value was approximately $9,000. In 1978 the land was developed into Waynedale Gardens.

Children can run and play in this park's natural open space or make use of the swing set and playground.
