History

When Prince Edward State Park for Negroes opened in 1950, these posts marked the confines of the swim area. At the time, laws ensured that people who visited the park were no strangers to boundaries, as parks and even water fountains were often off-limits to people of color. The creation of the park was an important step in pushing social boundaries in recreational opportunities.
