New Deal projects carried out between 1933 and 1941 transformed La Junta City Park from a poorly drained park into the city's top outdoor recreation space. The Works Progress Administration originally planned to build four lakes in the park, but a large flood in 1937 caused the WPA to reduce the number of lakes to just one.
