Lodi School Hillside Improvement Site, also known as Veterans Memorial Park, is located on Corner Street, between Pleasant Street and Columbus Street in Lodi, Wisconsin.[2] The site, consisting of two parcels, was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 9, 2009. The stone retaining walls and stairways of the landscape architecture of the hillside below the Lodi Primary School were a public works project from 1933-1938. The site was designed by the first professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Wisconsin, Franz A. Aust. On the opposite side of a creek that separates the two parcels, the Veteran's Memorial Park was completed in 1948.[3] The property was the featured listing in the National Park Service's weekly list of April 17, 2009.[4]
