The Waterworks Park project started in 1931 when employees of the city’s water treatment plant used leftover supplies and funds to carve out the park in the Briarcliff area beneath the bluffs. Once completed in 1936, Waterworks Park provided recreational areas, a spring-fed small park for ice skating in the winter months and swimming in the summer months, picnic tables, and benches. This park became popular very quickly with outdoor enthusiasts, picnickers, and spectators watching air races during the summer. Waterworks Park today features a rigorous disc golf course, along with the city’s Remembered Angels Memorial.
