City Park Improvement Association
The City Park Improvement Association was founded in 1891 with the mission of overseeing the development and preservation of City Park. These photographs show a variety of projects in different stages throughout the history of City Park. Many completed by the WPA are shown here, including the Peristyle, Popp's Fountain, and the City Park Stadium (now Tad Gormely Stadium). Also included are the grounds clearing and construction of the City Park golf courses. Several photographs are from City Park's Orphans Day in 1955.
