Description
The accompanying photo was used on p. 50 of “All Aboard! A Journey Through Historic Winter Garden 1880-1950,” written by The Winter Garden Heritage Foundation.
The photograph portrays the Winter Garden City Pool at 1, Surprise Drive, Winter Garden. This popular facility was one of the WPA projects made possible through the efforts of Mayor George Walker. The pool was originally filled by a natural artesian well. The pool is still in use and is now called Farnsworth Pool.
