Summary
The history of the David City Park began in 1889, when twelve acres were donated to he city for use as a park. Over time additional land was added to the park through purchases and donations. As the park increased in size, improvements were also made. A number of recreational facilities including a swimming pool, athletic field, and golf course were added. Although there are several buildings within the park's boundaries, the most prominent structure is the Municipal Auditorium. Constructed 1941-43, this WPA project is an excellent example of an Art Moderne-style building.
