Lindner Park is a 2 acre space which is situated on a rectangular plot ((<\/span>“CARLISLE BOROUGH BICYCLE & PEDESTRIAN TRAIL NETWORK MAP.” CUmberland VAlley Trail Network. Carlislepa.org. 2013.)) , in line with the neighborhood\u2019s design ((“Lindner Park, Carlisle, PA neighborhood.” Nextdoor.)). \u00a0Lindner Park is in fact, its own neighborhood, though it is the smallest in the town of Carlisle ((“Lindner Park, Carlisle, PA neighborhood.” Nextdoor.)). \u00a0The park consists of trees which are nonpatterened, which allows the park to have a natural blend and not appear closed off to the neighborhood that surrounds it. The park has play features for children, a walking path, benches, and a rest area. \u00a0It is possible to see directly from one end of the park to another, which may provide an enhanced sense of security for parents in particular. \u00a0The location is highly residential, as it is generally made up of three- to four-bedroom homes ((“Carlisle, PA Neighborhood Overview.” Livability. October 5, 2012.)). Most of the residents living here are mixed ages ((“Carlisle, PA Neighborhood Overview.” Livability. October 5, 2012.)). The area is one of the most family-friendly areas in the state, thanks to low crime rates and owned single-family homes ((“Carlisle, PA Neighborhood Overview.” Livability. October 5, 2012.)). \u00a0Those who live in the neighborhood appreciate it for its proximity to downtown, beauty, charm, and family friendly environment ((“Carlisle, PA Neighborhood Overview.” Livability. October 5, 2012.)).<\/span><\/p>\n

As the first park in Carlisle, Lindner\u2019s design set an important tone for the town\u2019s culture ((Jordan, John W , and Thomas L. Montgomery. Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography: Illustrated, Volume 2<\/i>. Vol. 2. PA: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1914.)). \u00a0The park was erected because of Lindner\u2019s commitment to local floriculture ((Herringshaw, Thomas William. Herringshaw’s American statesman and public official year-book, 1907-1908; a record of the lives of the United States executive.<\/i> Chicago, IL: American Publishers Association, 1907.)). \u00a0It was a project that was parallel to Lindner\u2019s greenhouses which were described as \u201cmodern and of magnificent size\u201d at 30×300 feet ((“Carlisle, PA.” The American Florist: A Weekly Journal for the Trade<\/i> 19 (August 2, 1902): 24.)). \u00a0The purposes of both ventures was highly educational. \u00a0Lindner Park held every species of tree known to Cumberland Valley ((Herringshaw, Thomas William. Herringshaw’s American statesman and public official year-book, 1907-1908; a record of the lives of the United States executive ..<\/i> Chicago, IL: American Publishers Association, 1907.)). \u00a0The greenhouse held diverse plants, particularly flowers ((“Carlisle, PA.” The American Florist: A Weekly Journal for the Trade<\/i> 19 (August 2, 1902): 24.)). \u00a0Both were open to children of the public schools, Dickinson College students, and the Indian Training School in 1902 ((Jordan, John W , and Thomas L. Montgomery. Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography: Illustrated, Volume 2<\/i>. Vol. 2. PA: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1914.)). \u00a0Lindner Park was also was massively appreciated by residents and elites ((Jordan, John W , and Thomas L. Montgomery. Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography: Illustrated, Volume 2<\/i>. Vol. 2. PA: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1914.)). Lindner was praised at the park\u2019s official dedication. \u00a0His park was said to be \u201cworthy of the dignity and character of Carlisle.\u201d ((Jordan, John W , and Thomas L. Montgomery. Encyclopedia of Pennsylvania Biography: Illustrated, Volume 2<\/i>. Vol. 2. PA: Lewis Historical Publishing Company, 1914.)) Because of this, Lindner Park had a significant community impact upon its founding.<\/span><\/p>\n
