Ephraim E. Stevens (1851-1907) was mayor of Oshkosh 1889-1890, state senator 1904-1905 and a local architect. He was supervising architect of several schools, including Merrill and Oshkosh High. Known as the “parks mayor” he convinced the council to buy South Park and Menominee Park. Controversy surrounded both purchases, so he wisely chose not to run for a second term. The park was dedicated to Stevens in 1974. Formerly it was the site of the Old Miles greenhouse.
