"Battleship Picnic Ground and Paliza Family Campground were former CCC camps, and currently contain facilities constructed by the CCC... Battleship Rock - this picnic area has 37 picnic units available for use ... The original facilities (tables, grills, shelter, and trail) were constructed in the 1930's by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The area was rehabilitated in 1959, and in 1979, the parking areas and the road entrance were paved."[2]
