NATURAL SPRINGS
The park is home to several natural underground springs that have been an integral part of this lands identity. From the use by indigenous communities to the collection of water by neighbors until the late 1990s, the spring is extremely important to our community.
Beginning with the early indigenous communities who gathered here for fresh water, to the land owners who bottled and sold the water nationally in the late 1800s and early 1900s, to the communities who brought glass bottles from home to collect fresh spring water, this land is very much tied to the water that has sustained life in our community for hundreds of years.
