Crystal Beach Park - Woodward, OK - WPA Projects on Waymarking.com

Crystal Beach Park is located on 1st Street on the east side of Woodward. During the period of 1935 to 1936, many projects were completed in this park. These original projects included a large grandstand, a race track, drainage ditches, a bathhouse, tennis courts, a bandshell and an entrance and wall. The bandshell, grandstand and entrance wall remain today.

The grandstand is a large concrete and brick structure, still in use today, as is the bandshell where entertainment is regularly performed. There is a newly built water park, but we were unable to locate the original bathhouse.

The entrance consists of a wide vehicle drive flanked by white granite rock pillars and a 3 ft. high granite rock wall which extends across the front of the park along 1st Street. Every 30 feet or so, the wall has a slightly higher pillar. Crosses are constructed along the wall by leaving out rocks in the shape of a cross.

The park is actively used for sporting and entertainment purposes, as well as recreational activities. Each pre-Christmas season, the park is lit with lights in an event known as Crystal Christmas. (You will see lights and decorations in our photos as we were here in late November).
