After the state began managing the park in the 1960s, a bathhouse and beach were installed. Later, under the direction of city planner, Robert L. Bendick, Jr. ( who went on to become the Director of the state Department of Environmental Management), a combination of state, Federal, and community agencies revamped the park with lawns and a fountain.
