Syracuse City Park: One Os The Best

The Syracuse City park, located on Syracuse Lake, as it is today is a far cry from the former dump of the 1920’5. The town of Syracuse purchased the ground and filled in the dump and thus began the park, that is one of the best in this part of the state. During the depression, the WPA scooped dirt from across the road to use for fill. W. E. Long donated some bank • stock to be used for completion of the park. An organization in town at that time, the Syracuse Conservation club donated SI,OOO one year and later another SI,OOO to make the beach. The muck was pushed back into the lake and sand dumped in to form the beach. Later the concession stand was built, then more city water lines laid and sewage to the park, making the building modern.
