History

Nearly all of Shoaff Park's land was purchased in 1955 with a generous donation by Mr. and Mrs. Fred B. Shoaff.  The Conklin Pavilion was a gift from Mrs. Ella Conklin left to Fort Wayne's residents as part of her last will and testament.  Though Shoaff's most distinguishing feature is the natural beauty of its wooden areas, it is also distinguished by the fact that is offers the most amenities of any park.
