According to history, four sycamore trees were planted in 1817 by Spanish Padres to mark a resting point situated halfway between the San Gabriel and San Fernando Missions. Each tree denoted the 4 points of the compass and were used to navigate the route between the missions. Although the original trees are no longer standing, four sycamore trees were planted to mark this historic site. It is the smallest park in Burbank and was dedicated on April 26, 2002.
