Description
Pictured in 1926 is a duck pond, later to be known as Duck Lake, located in the western-most part of Land Park, along Land Park Drive. By the time this photograph was taken, the park had two duck ponds and a model boat pond. In the winter of 1937, and with the temperature dropping as low as 20 degrees, the park’s typical idyll became shrouded with frost and its ponds covered in ice. Children from throughout the city flocked to the park, using roller skates, scooters and bicycles to move about the ice. Duck Lake was drained, dredged and widened in the winter of 1959. In 1998, it was stocked with 370 trout.
