Earl D. Locken Memorial Park:
In 2002, two lots were donated to the Town of Isabel by Ruby Lee Locken, widow of Earl D. Locken, for a park. The Town Board and Community members joined together to develop it. Board members and the Utilities Superintendent trimmed and removed dead trees and replaced them with shrubs, evergreens and grass. Community members and local organizations donated money for a 14' x 24' picnic shelter. Later, a larger 60' x 140' outdoor pavilion was also built by the Isabel Rodeo Association.
In 2005, the Town Board contacted the Tatanka RC&D office for assistance on further park improvements. A Game, Fish & Parks grant was received to build handicapped accessible restrooms, a water fountain, and fencing around the perimeter of the park. A new, large, metal silhouette sign was donated by Earl Locken's children, headed by Dale Locken.
At of the end of 2007, trees were planted, the sign installed, and the restrooms were useable, in time for the Annual Isabel Celebration.
