In 1902 Teunis TenHouten, a Dutch Immigrant, donated a rustic 20 foot fountain of rock, which was placed at this facility. The fountain was designed and built by Johannes Van Lente. Underground restrooms were added in 1904. In 1907 the bandstand was built on top of the restrooms. 1988 Mayor Philip Tanis directed a Buy-a-Brick campaign that paved the walks in this park.
In 1991 the Holland Area Home Builders Association contributed a gazebo. Also, in 1991 the City of Holland installed Victorian lighting throughout the park to continue with the Victorian park theme of this facility.
Centennial Park was originally set aside as the village market area, but was redeveloped and dedicated to park use in 1876. This 5.6 acre park is located between 10th and 12th Streets and River and Central Avenues.
