Description
“The same year the WPA crew worked on the tennis courts, they dug three lily ponds along the creek through Pioneer Park. The beautification project cost $3,537, with the city picking up just $137 of the total cost. … While the lily ponds have vanished, other New Deal projects remain in daily use.”
