Also, here's a PDF file of a 1999 professional analysis of Frick Park. You can download the Adobe Acrobat reader if you need it HERE.
From the analysis:
Frick Park was the gift of Henry Clay Frick, implemented through his will of 1917. Frick family legend has
it that the park was the idea of Miss Helen Frick who wished that the city's children might have the
opportunity to enjoy the delights of Nature. The park's major period of development occurred in the period
1935-1957 when Innocenti & Webel, a New York based firm of landscape architects with a national
reputation, designed the entire Park as a series of linked visual experiences expressed through a combination
of naturalistic and formal idioms.
