“Let the kids play on the wagon”
Birnie Park has a new, ADA-approved playground, picnic tables, a small picnic shelter and restrooms. There is also an Oregon Trail Display designed by local artists Don Gray and Tom Dimond. The display consists of a series of eight oval, glazed ceramic columns with cast bronze caps. The columns symbolize a pioneer family and aspects of a trip through the Grande Rond Valley by covered wagon.
On the corner of the old Oregon Trail (B avenue) and Gekeler in La Grande, this beautiful city park is sponsored by the Lions Club and includes an abstract pioneer memorial and a life size wrought iron pioneer play wagon. This was a camping and staging area for the Oregon Trail emigrants who had to combine teams to ascend the steep valley walls.
