This park is in the Michaels Park neighbourhood and has an area of 3.02 ha. John "Mike" Michaels (1891-1962) was an active supporter of northern aviation and founded Mike's News and the Edmonton Newsboys' Band. He was born in New York and as a young man worked as a newsboy. Michaels came to Edmonton in 1912 and soon established Mike's News, a newspaper store located on Jasper Avenue. In 1913, in an effort to curb juvenile delinquency among newspaper boys, he founded the acclaimed Edmonton Newsboys' Band. The band toured the US and even played at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley, England, in 1924. Michaels also sponsored airlines and air shows. In about 1930 he began a tradition of serving Christmas dinner to ex-servicemen. For his efforts during both world wars he was awarded the Order of the British Empire. Michaels was also awarded the Medal of Freedom, a civilian honour, by the US government. He retired in 1957.
