Summary
The Grant City Park is significant for its association with the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The park, with its band shell, benches, rustic stone walls, entrances, and landscape trees is an excellent example of the type of recreational facilities constructed by the WPA and other New Deal public programs. Construction on the park began in 1935 and was completed in 1939.
