The bridge crosses over an area between a wading pool and a swimming pool and leads from walking trails to a large gazebo. It is a reinforced concrete bridge, with its date of construction, 1950, etched into the concrete at the top of the central arch, just below the deck. It consists of three individual arches, a larger central arch and a smaller arch on each end.
