Southside Park Pond - Southside Park -Sacramento, CA - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

"Formed from a seasonal swamp, the pond was dredged in 1908 using a pneumatic dredger equipped with an electrolytic sluice box,intended to gather gold dust from the sand and sediment at the bottom of the swamp. Thepond was originally designed with two islands, and deep enough for boating. The 1966highway project cut through the bottom third of the pond, making the southern island into a short peninsula on the southern edge of the pond, but the pond retains sufficient integrity to remain a contributor to the park."
