The park was founding in the winter of 2003 by Onishi Katzu the Farquester, Arminius the pale Skinned, Maera Halvorsdottir, and Callandra Drachewolf. The first official park day took place on 4/4/04.

  • Do you have traditions or games that you would say define your chapter?

We've played a mix of games over the years, and the styles have varied depending on the officers and the style preferred by the current populace. We have run numerous quests through the years, which have created a series of "landmarks" within the park.

  • Have you had any news organizations do any pieces on your chapter in the last two years?

I beleive our last report was out last winter(or possibly the winter prior) I think I may have the video somewhere. They were highlighting groups that still went outside in the extreme cold and highlighted our park and the local extreme frisbee group.

  • What have you been doing to attract new players?

Lately through word of mouth and recruitment of friends of the younger players. We also did a demo at the recent Skyrim opening night.

  • Has anything happened in the last year that you would like included in your history?

I can not think of anything for the park as a whole, though individuals may update their personal Amtwiki pages.
