"Built by Works Progress Administration volunteers in 1933, the Meadow Park Shelter House offered park-goers shady respite before the floods left it in ruins. The emergency grant allows this beloved shelter to remain and be enjoyed."   (https://www.historycolorado.org) The facility was restored and remodeled in 1997 and is listed on the state historic register. Unfortunately, a recent note on the town website explains: "Sadly, the 2013 September flood waters completely destroyed most of the original structure, leaving basically only the chimney still standing. Plans for a new shelter are still pending."   (https://www.townoflyons.com)
