Parley Pratt was an entrepreneur and Mormon proselytizer.  He created a pass through the Wasatch Mountains that was eventually incorporated into the Lincoln Highway, a private initiative which created a coast-to-coast highway from New York City to San Francisco.

This little park is a memorial to him, has beautiful plantings, and a number of plaques on neighborhood-relevant history.
