Colonel Owen Summers was a commanding officer of the Spanish-American War who later became an Oregon legislator. He introduced the bill that led to the creation of the Oregon National Guard. There is a relief carving of him in a large rock in the southwestern corner of the park where you can view him in all his mustachioed glory.

Buckman Field was re-fitted last year with all-weather synthetic turf and brand new stadium lights. But be wary about using the track for running: the southeastern corner runs by VooDoo Doughnut's east-side location (unless the smell of fresh doughnuts is motivation for your workout).
