synopsis

The correspondence from Edmund C. Hill to Frederick Law Olmted Sr in 1890 for Trenton parks (01180) mentions a 10-acre, 2/3 mile long shoreline drive along the Delaware River. The 10 acres for the drive plus the 90 acres that would become Cadwalader Park were part of the City of Trenton's park purchase in 1888. The river drive was subsequently described as starting at Calhoun Street

The 10 acres for the drive plus the 90 acres that would become Cadwalader Park were part of the City of Trenton's park purchase in 1888. The river drive was subsequently described as starting at Calhoun Street and reaching Parkside Avenue. A state highway now occupies the shoreline along the Delaware River although there is some pedestrian accessible park land.
