Harmon Park - Lawton, OK - WPA Projects on Waymarking.com

Harmon Park is a two-block area near the center of Lawton. Constructed in 1936 it is bordered by Bell Avenue on the north and Arlington on the south, between 13th and 14th Streets.

The coordinates above are located at the arched entrance on 14th Street. This is a tan sandstone arch with the name HARMON PARK etched in red sandstone. The mortar is beaded. A framed area might once have held a WPA slab. Today is shows the red sandstone underlaying in which the letters WPA have been etched.

There are two remaining sandstone picnic tables, one round and one rectangular. A round wading pool still exists and is in use to this date. A creek runs through the east side of the park in which the WPA constructed stone borders, and concrete and stone bridges at the north and south, which runs under Bell and Arlington Avenues.

An interesting landlocked footbridge stands in the center of the park, which once likely crossed over the nearby creek. This structure has tall pillars at the four corners, and an arched footpath. One of the arches has fallen. The tan sandstone has beaded mortar.
