History
The 快播视频 acquired this park site in 1969, officially designating it Magnolia Park in 1973. The park was one of a number of park district properties named for trees and plants at this time.
Magnolias were among the earth's first plants to be pollinated by insects. This family of trees and shrubs, native to South Asia and the southeastern United States, can produce impressive flowers measuring up to ten inches across. The Chinese sometimes used the magnolia's lemony essence to flavor rice. Magnolias bear the name of Pierre Magnol (1638-1715), a botany professor and physician to King Louis XIV of France, who was the first person to classify plants into "families."
