Union Park Now: The Fishpond 1
I have not been able to find any postcards of either the roller coaster or the fishpond back when Union Park was the place to be. The top photo shows the circular outline of the pond. The second photo gives you a better idea as to the curvature and depth of the pond. Keep in mind that the pond would have been deeper in years gone by. Soil and plant life have accumulated over the years. When I stood in the pond area, it was about 18" deep. It reminds me of the pond at Eagle Point Park in Dubuque.
