This c. 1919 view shows Lake Drive. In the distance is the bathhouse and the sliding board for swimmers, both at the south end of the park at what is now Seventeenth St. After @CHS_GA opened in 1926, the park buildings remained abandoned until they burned down in the late 1920s.

Here is the bridge that led to one of the park's four islands, where the bands played. The park was accessible by the trolley line that circled it. The outings in the park were great occasions for local families for decades. The park closed in 1919 due to the flu epidemic.
