article by Henry Timman in the Sandusky Register. Excerpt:
When Sandusky city was first surveyed in 1818, the area east of Megs and north of Washington Street was designated as the East Battery and the area west of Shelby Street and north of Washington was labeled the West Battery. ...

The West Battery was the site of Sandusky’s first village cemetery and the East Battery was for a long time the site of shipyards and was leased later for industrial use. Over time the park was enlarged with fill dirt from basements and sewer lines being dug and finally was developed into park land and marinas.
