Huset Park is on the corner of 40th Ave. and Jefferson St. There is a peculiar arch in the middle of nowhere with retaining walls to hold up the mounds of dirt on each side. I'm still researching this one!! :)

Huset Park was the first Columbia Heights park and was originally called City Park. It was re-named for a Lutheran minister, Elmer Huset of First Lutheran Church and city manager for a time. He went to the state legislature and secured 60 acres for the city in 1939 for $10,000. About 30 acres of that land became park and the other acres became industrial land. The Jefferson pavilion building was constructed in 1959 on the eastern portion of Huset Park.
