History: Fair Park was founded in 1928. The main part of the building was constructed during 1937 and 1938. It was enlarged again in 1950 and in 1979. It originally consisted of three small buildings and was known as "Lincoln School."
It was named Fair Park for the area park that is now called WAR Memorial park. Fair Park Elementary has been a tradition for over seventy years. It boasts of educating several generations of families. It covers an entire city block in the historic Hillcrest neighborhood.
Fair Park converted to an Early Childhood Center, the only one of its kind in the state, for the 2005-06 school year. It will be a model facility for pre-kindergarten children.
