TeWinkle Park was named after Charles TeWinkle, who moved to Costa Mesa in 1920 with his wife. Mr. TeWinkle was a local businessman and director of several local banks. He was elected the first mayor of the newly incorporated City of Costa Mesa in 1953. The 49-acre park was officially dedicated as TeWinkle Park on January 31, 1965.
