There is so much history to this small piece of land that is now called Escanaba Park. Revetment work in 1857 formed what became known as the “Government Pond” or “Government Basin”. These first revetment diggings were placed to narrow and improve the channel, as well as halt the erosion at the bend in the river, known as “The Lower Diggings”. However, Commander of the Coast Guard ( 1930- 1933) had a different vision for this waste land in the city of Grand Haven.
