As part of the East Park Historic District, the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 4, 2005. In June 1884, Caroline Cleveland Choice (1811-1905), widow of prominent attorney and political activist, William Choice, donated an initial 2.6 acres to create the park; and in 1911, businessman, former mayor, and state representative William Choice Cleveland (1883-1946), donated additional land.〔Amy Burns, “Greenville's oldest park sees bright future,” ''Greenville News'', December 11, 2014; W. H. Arnold to Thomas Parker, August 23, 1962, McPherson Park file, South Carolina Room, Hughes Main Library, Greenville, SC; (National Register application, East Park Historic District ).〕 The park—originally called "City Park"—grew to 32 acres before construction of Academy Street in the early twentieth century reduced it to 12.5 acres.〔Burns.〕 From 1935 to 1941 the park was renovated by the Works Progress Administration; and in 1941, Sears, Roebuck and Company donated $7,500 toward the building of a stone shelter.〔National Register application; "Sears Shelter Plays to Steady Capacity," ''Greenville News'', February 20, 1949.〕 That same year, Greenville City Council named the park for city engineer John A. McPherson in recognition of his service in developing the city's parks.〔"City Park Renamed," ''Greenville News'', May 7, 1941, 2.〕 In 1952, a miniature train for children ran through the park; but with urban encroachment in the 1970s, the train was removed along with a pond and a baseball field.〔Burns.〕 For three years beginning in 1982, improvements in landscaping and lighting were made, and a 1912 bandstand was refurbished. In 2015, the park included walking paths, playgrounds, picnic tables and shelters, a miniature golf course, lighted tennis courts, a nameless stream crossed by several pedestrian bridges, the Sears Shelter (which hosted dances, public meetings, and community events), and the Log Cabin Gift Shop, a consignment shop for the sale of handicrafts made by retirees.〔Judith Bainbridge, "Bubbling Brook Hides Its Face," ''Greenville News'', December 5, 2001, City People, 1; Burns; (SCGreatOutdoors.com ); (Senior Action website ). The stream was called Academy Branch before the Civil War and Tannery Creek for some period afterward.
