This weather vane was added to this park in 2018.
The park was originally established in 1919. It was mainly a grass area, with a couple of benches and one half court basketball court.
It was neglected after a time, and became run down.
In 2018 the city decided to fix this, and rebuilt the entire park. They retained the old half court, but also built a new one.
The steam locomotive is a symbol of this community. It had a depot, where the town bordering this town, Warrenton, which was much larger and also the county seat, did not have a depot. Gave Truesdale bragging rights.
