"Perhaps the highest return on investment ever earned on a few thousand federal dollars came in the form of a pile of dirt in a rather forlorn park at the depth of the Depression. The agency behind it was the Civil Works Administration, the park was Audubon, and the dirt is now known as Monkey Hill. Contrary to popular belief, the Works Progress Administration did not build Monkey Hill; the mound was nearly complete before the WPA came into existence with the 1935 Emergency Relief Appropriation Act. Nor was the hill a primary goal of the project, much less a designed landscape...

The original toboggan slide was built by the CCC 'boys' for their own recreational use while they were working on the park between 1934 and 1942.   It was so popular with the public that it has since been rebuilt, enlarged and remodeled several times, so the current structure is not the original nor contains any part of it. The toboggan slide is not marked as CCC, but the CCC is commemorated in other parts of Pokagon Park.  A permanent exhibit in the Nature Center lists all the structures they worked on and...
