Description

Large park that was developed into a municipal park at the end of CCC Company 3731’s tenure in Fulton.  The company had used the land where the park was developed for their quarters, primarily doing agriculture work such as terracing, but when they were to leave, constructed the rock pillars that flank the entrances to  the park, rock seating for the amphitheater, horsheshoe pits(?),  and the roads and walkways throughout the park.  The pond in the park was probably constructed at this time.
