Chase Park today is just a half-block grass area, with a few simple swing sets and a basketball court with no nets. The WPA wading pool and bathhouse are gone, and live only in the memory of some of the older residents of Seminole.
The only remnants of WPA presence is a stone wall that is crumbling, a concrete bench with the WPA shield, and several WPA shields pressed into the sidewalks that surround the park. One interesting spot on the sidewalk showed adjacent concrete sections - one marked 1937 and the adjacent one marked 1939. At the southeast and northeast corners of the park are five foot high sandstone pillars.
