[edit] History

The land for the park was acquired in 1948, and a dam at the east side of the lake was completed in 1950 [2], which created the lake.

Since the park's inception, there was a wastewater leak that damaged the ecology of the lake[3]. The lake was dredged in the early-mid 1990s to restore the contamination levels of the lake to levels that are safe for wildlife and swimming.
