010 HISTORY <br />I <br />The land acquired from Philip Sampson had been planted with <br />a wide variety of trees and shrubs , particularly lilacs , by <br />Maye E . Sampson and was donated in her honor in 1970 . The donor <br />stipulated that the property should be used for park purposes <br />only as befitting an area of vegetative beauty . Two nieces of <br />adjacent land were obtained , also in 1970 , to make a park of <br />approximately one acre . <br />Improvements and additions to Sampson Park since its acqui - <br />sition have included the addition of play equipment for <br />1 <br />children , the transplanting of trees , and the installation of <br />11/ <br />a memorial plaque to Maye Sampson .
