Park History: Adams Park is a heavily wooded park with a variety of large deciduous and evergreen trees. Located close to the Utah State University campus and adjacent to Adams Elementary, the park serves students and the surrounding neighborhood. The park serves patrons of all ages with its many amenities and facilities.
The park was surveyed in 1864 as block 51, Plat C, Logan City Survey, by J. H. Mortineau, the Cache County Surveyor. Plat C of Logan City was surveyed to accommodate the increased population of Logan after the construction of the Logan and Hyde Park Canal.
Adams Park used to be called the Fifth Ward Square. And the Fifth Ward meeting house was built along the south side of the park, facing 500 North. In 1907 the City leased the east half of the Fifth Ward Square to Utah State University to use as an athletic field. Wooden bleachers were built to accommodate the spectators. All Utah State University football games and track meets were held here until the late 1920s.
The athletic field was named Adams Field in honor of Jan Q. Adams, a member of the University’s Board of Trustees, and a local resident of the Logan Fifth Ward. The east half of the Square was returned to the City after the University built Romney Stadium. As the City developed the Park, the Adams name was retained.
