Scope and content
- Strollers, bathers, and bikers enjoy a sunny day at Green Lake. The lake was originally named "Lake Green" in 1855, due to its preponderous of algae blooms. In 1903, a park was built around the lake. A bathhouse was added in 1927 and an Aqua Theater in 1950 which featured "swimusicals". The Aqua Theater ran until 1965, but was still used occasionally for concerts until a 1969 Grateful Dead show demonstrated how dangerous and crumbling the grandstand had become. The bathhouse, however, is still in use as a theater for local productions, and the park is a very popular place to be on sunny days.
