City Park Renovations

  • Area of the lake is 4.25 acres.
  • Built in June 1936
  • The lake is now 9 feet deep next to the dam, with an average of 6.5 feet deep.
  • The lake receives water from approximately 300 acres of the surrounding area.
  • We dredged 8900 cubic yards of sludge from the lake.
  • We removed the island and installed a 96-foot pier with a 32 x 32-foot deck, to the middle of the lake with a new 30-foot flagpole in the center, for a focal point.
  • A second mini pier and bridge have been installed so citizens can use the new walks installed around the lake.
  • You have 3 walk options around City Park, City Lake and the Patriot’s Flag Concourse.
    • The sidewalk around City Park is 4,860 feet (.92 Miles).
    • The concrete and pit gravel walk around the City Lake is 2300 feet (.43 Miles).
    • The asphalt walk around the lawn at the Patriots Flag Concourse is 860 feet (.16 Miles).
  • The City Park Lake is currently stocked with Rainbow, Brown and Brook Trout.
  • Fall 2021 we will stock the City Park Lake with Large Mouth Bass, Brim, Channel Catfish and Sterile Grass Carp.
  • New trash cans, including recycling cans, have been installed around the City Park Lake.
  • 11 New benches have been installed around the City Park Lake.

Drainage Field

This estimated drainage area drains to both the lake and the creek that feeds the lake with a 6” pipe, so not all of the estimated 300 acres are making it into the lake.
