Description
The 46-acre Lake or Gala Water in Delaware Park, designed c. 1870, was one for the largest water bodies included by Olmsted and Vaux in a park. As Olmsted predicted in his original report: “This water would be well adapted to the requirements of ornamental water fowl, to skating and boating; the groves adjoining it would furnish a cool place to be resorted to for rambling and rest on a hot day....” - C.E. Beveridge {Vegetation - Circuation - Water Feature}
