Description
Both the CCC and the WPA developed Tulsa’s Mohawk Park:
“The National Park Service took over planning of structures in Mohawk Park from the City Park Department. The WPA workers built bridges, roads and shelters to blend in with the natural landscape. They also brought waterlines and restrooms into Mohawk for the first time.” (www.cityoftulsa.org)
“Urban parks in Tulsa and Oklahoma also owed much to the CCC… One Tulsa camp turned miles of raw, often swampy land into Mohawk Park.” (Historical Atlas in Oklahoma)
