TESTED NEGATIVE AT INVENTORY STRENGTH · THE PARKS' BUILT FACTS THAT DO EXIST, AT TRUE SIZE
The three built objects the floor names were each tested, park by park. The county parks record reached for this build — the St. Joseph County Parks pages, brochure and trail map for Ferrettie / Baugo Creek County Park, the Five Year Master Plan 2019–2023 park sheet, and the Parks Board minutes and packets of September–October 2025 (Parks, banked) — was read for built features, and the town's own park record (Penn Park; Fern Hunsberger Park) was swept with it, November 2026. No war or civic monument, no bandshell, and no rock garden is inventoried, named or photographed for Ferrettie / Baugo Creek, Penn Park or Fern Hunsberger Park in any of that record. The negative is printed as the finding, at inventory strength: if a small marker or shelter feature exists below the master-plan record's grain, it is a named gap — settler: the county parks master plan's site inventories and a site walk — and none is invented here.
The built fabric these parks do carry, at true size: Ferrettie / Baugo Creek's fabric is reclamation fabric — a park opened in 1987 on reclaimed ground, named for the Ferrettie family, with its dug lake (Lake Osceola), marsh and wetlands, trails, and Baugo Station as its building, a seat active enough that the County Parks Board itself sat there in September 2025 (no quorum; informational) and took up a 0.34-acre Strefling-family land donation on its edge that October. Penn Park, at 300 North Grand Boulevard inside the town (the directory record's address, conformed at assembly; the 325 form traces to an OBSA listing), is built as a ball ground: the diamonds of the Osceola Baseball Softball Association, its home on the directory record. Fern Hunsberger Park enters the record reached as a named town park without an inventoried built-feature list — its features are a named gap on the same settler as above. Grounds, fights and government are Parks's; this article owns only the fabric, and the fabric, honestly inventoried, is a station, a lake, and diamonds — no monument, no bandshell, no rock garden.
