This park and its numerous improvements was donated to the city of Lima in 1937 by Thomas R. Schoonover. Besides a 25-acre lake for boating and fishing, there is a large modern swimming pool with bath house, locker and sanitation equipment designed to accommodate 1,000 bathers at one time.

    I remember swimming here as a small kid. It seemed so HUGE to a kid. The island in the deep end was something I REALLY wanted to swim too, but the lifeguards were really good at watching the kiddos. I wasn't a good enough swimmer yet and then we got transferred out of Lima.
