King [[Aedanicus VIII]]'s interest in urban renewal during this period lead to the creation of the park out of several parks on the Pale, especially including the Royal Garden of the [[Julian Palace]], into one expansive park running the length of the old Flats area. The [[Levantine Forum]] was also included at the east side of the park. The park's construction began in 1861 and concluded in 1867, displacing many government structures. Much of the rush was attributable to the upcoming 1869 World's Fair that was to be held in Urceopolis. | ||
