Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. In October 1925. William Milverton gifted 4 acres, 3 roods and 28 perches of land to the Palmerston North Borough Council. This parcel of land was to become Milverton Park, on the corner of Ferguson Street and Victoria Avenue. Milverton intended for it to be a free recreation space for the public and for children. Its last redevelopment in 2019 to a dedicated children's space reflects the aspirations of the original donor.
