Description
Boaters take in a pleasant day at the south end of Southside Park in this circa 1929 photograph. The lake kept form until 1965 when earthfill was dumped into its south end as part of the construction of the X and Y Freeway. In a matter of days, the lake shrunk by one-third and the park lost two square blocks. Also falling victim in the project was the park's clubhouse. The City collected 500,000 dollars in the deal.
