Frederick Law Olmsted (26 April 1822) was an American landscape architect. He was the father of American landscape architecture. One of Olmsted's early works included designing the Walnut Hill Park in New Britain, Connecticut. His later efforts included Central Park and Prospect Park in New York City He headed the pre-eminent landscape architecture and planning consultancy of late nineteenth-century America. He also was involved with the design of Jackson Park, for the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893. Closer to my home, he designed the Grand Necklace of Parks in Milwaukee: Washington Park, Riverside Park, and Lake Park.
