Santa Fe River Park. "Like many other New Deal projects, the Santa Fe River Park work used locally quarried limestone and other native materials. A quarter-mile east of the ... [Don Gaspar] Bridge, there's a wonderful natural-looking stone weir that creates a waterfall and a small pool below it ... an example of that kind of naturalistic landscaping that the CCC did."[1]
