Named after WW1 first lieutenant James Albert Whitted, the Albert Whitted Park & Playground was established in support of the historical airport that once offered passenger tickets at .01 cent per pound (i.e. If you weigh 150 lbs., you still only pay $1.50 for a one-way ticket). The airport was the first known airport to offer scheduled aircraft passenger flights.
The park is free and open to the public, and the playground features a miniature historical aviation and airport replicas, along with taxiway layouts.
