Lawton Park was bought to be used as an Indiana State Fairgrounds in 1866, In 1918 Lawton had 40 acres and, along with Swinney Park, remained one of the city's largest parks for many years. Cannons became part of the Lawton Park scene in 1901.
This is one of the city's greatest playgrounds for children. Kids Crossing is a scaled version of the original fort, the latter of which serves as the backdrop for the playground.
The Lawton Park Greenhouse has been a fixture of the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation Department since the early 1920's. Employees at the greenhouse are responsible for growing over 130,000 plants for all city parks' floral needs.
