The span was taken from across Pond Creek las year and replaced with a new bridge, Falls Precinct No. 3 Commissioner Felix Neismast gained the authority from either County Court members to the place the bridge in Legion Park, and the bridge was moved in Monday morning [July 1, 1963] from Lott where it had been repaired and painted. The same article also appeals to the public for donations to cover the cost of the wood flooring for the bridge."
