1935 – present
The town's first swimming place was built by the Works Progress Administration in North Liberty Park. The park's National Register nomination records that WPA crews in 1935 and 1937 outlined the swimming pool with fieldstone and built its bathhouse, alongside the park's entrances, steps, footbridge, and bandstand; the nomination adds five fish-rearing ponds in the park's corners, a common 1930s park feature, of which none survive. The former bathhouse still stands as a contributing resource of the listed park, though a later writer on Indiana's WPA pools notes that no photograph of the North Liberty pool was ever found — the pool itself does not survive as a working pool in the record reached, and its closing date is stated by no carrier; it banks as a named gap, settled by the town's park and council records. The swimming arc's modern end is Worster Lake's beach, at boundary size as above; the creek itself, running through the town park in its little valley, was the wading water before and after the pool, at the size a creek through a seven-acre park can be.
