So much so that one of Amanda's friends posted, "Quit hogging the park."
-- It is the smallest park in the world, according to the Guiness Book of World Records.
-- The park was dedicated on St. Patrick's Day 1948, as "the only leprechaun colony west of Ireland."
-- The site was intended for a light pole, but when the pole failed to appear and weeds sprouted, Fagan, a columnist for the Oregon Journal, planted flowers in the hole and named it after his column in the paper, "Mill Ends" (a reference to leftover irregular pieces of wood at nearby lumber mills).
-- The small circle has featured many unusual items through the decades, including a swimming pool for butterflies—complete with diving board, a horseshoe, and a miniature ferris wheel which was delivered by a full size crane.
-- The park continues to be the site of St. Patrick's Day festivities.
