Palmer park is the complete park area, I think it is largest park in Reading. It is name was taken from George Palmer JR, mayor in Reading from 1857-1858 and member for the borough 1878-1885. He gave his own land as the public area in 1889, at the beginning 21 acres and more land up to 49 ares in 1891.
