Rustic Bridge and Lake in Mt. Washington Park

The dazzling 20-acre Swan Lake nestled in the greenery of Mt. Washington Park, an amusement park in Independence, Mo., just outside of Kansas City. It was used for swimming and boating, and an island in the lake held a bandstand for concerts. Here we see an old footbridge for crossing the lake, and the tree lines and greenery that provided such natural beauty within the park.
