First known as Monona Park when it was established in 1902, then Spaight Street Park, this park was renamed in 1929 for Bascom B. Clarke (1851-1929), a Madison businessman. He was a founder of the Dane County Telephone Company, publisher of the nationally-distributed "American Thresherman" magazine, and an active fund-raiser for children's charities.

Marker is on Spaight Street 0.1 miles east of Jenifer Street, on the right when traveling east.
