History |
Water
Works Park
It was
only natural when the City Water Department located its wells in the
Denver Chatman's area starting in 1914 that the city should acquire
the land around the wells and proposed wells and , today, the
beautiful and heavily used area is called Water Works Park. In
1935 the city took the kids out of the river and built a cement
swimming pool and bathhouse at a cost of $100,000. In the 1960's the
city was induced to build one of the finest baseball fields in this
area at the park and its home for Falls High teams during spring
session and is also used by many teams all baseball season. Water
Works Park, open to local people at all times, has an abundance and
variety of recreational and picnic facilities while protecting and
preserving the original beauty and atmosphere of our Cuyahoga River
with its historic heritage.
