This park was formerly a soccer field, but in 1997 was rededicated for Father John Lennon, a Dominican reverend who grew up in the neighborhood and was an active community leader. Father Lennon taught at nearby Providence College and was involved in many local organizations such as Rhode Island Hospital and the R.I. Department of Labor. He passed away in 2011 (obituary).
