1. Many a Child Marker
Many a child whiled away the hours at this fishing pond in City Hall Park during the 1940's. The pond also attracted a large population of bull frogs that became so noisy they disturbed the neighbors every night to the extent the pond was finally removed.
As you can see, play equipment has come a long way since 1970 when this picture was taken. One thing remains constant.....parks still bring out the child in all of us.
