After whom does Myrick Park take its name?

In honor of William Myrick, a German immigrant who settled in La Crosse around 1850, the area was named Myrick Park after him. To build a park for the community, Myrick gave this property to the city.

Spectacular views of the La Crosse River Marsh and the surrounding bluffs can be seen from the center's location at Myrick Park at 789 Myrick Park Drive. Its picturesque setting makes it as ideal for individuals who want to spend their time outdoors as it does for those who would instead relax indoors while taking in the breathtaking scenery.
