Columbus Division of Recreation and Parks Photographs
Description: Photograph showing children gathered for the Columbus Division of Recreation and Parks' Lantern Parade in Schiller Park, in Columbus' German Village neighborhood, 1958. Their sign reads, "Krumm Park says, 'Welcome Alaska Our 49th State," and the children are showing off a handmade float shaped like an igloo. Krumm Park Recreation Center is now called the William H. Adams Community Center, located on Alton Avenue in Columbus. The Columbus Recreation and Parks Commission was created in 1972 with the merger of the Franklin Park Commission and Recreation Commission, two separate commissions which were founded in the early twentieth century.
