Chataqua programs (1910-28), circuses, town gatherings, other reunions
and the public hanging of a criminal (1908) occurred here before the
park fell into disuse. The city dump (1934-53) and then a caliche mine,
the area reverted to park use in 1973. Civic groups joined to develop
recreational facilities and restore natural beauty with native
plantings.”
Weatherford citizens have utilized this park in
many ways through the years. The changes and improvements it has gone
through have turned it into the treasure that it is today.
