The official name of the park is Albert Anderson Memorial Park, often shortened to Anderson Park, or referred to by the original name Redmond City Park. Albert Anderson was key to the modern redevelopment of the park through his community work regarding park projects and volunteer coordination. The main features of the park include a set of two cabins formerly used for public events and services, formerly hosting the Redmond Senior Center and various city administrative offices prior to the development of city hall[4].
