Kletzsch

[1]

Located in the city of Glendale, Kletzsch Park formed in 1918 with the acquisition of the 35 acre Blatz farm and was later named after Alvin P. Kletzsch, a member of the Park Commission (1907-1941).  Archaeological studies done in the early 1930's indicated that a portion of the park once contained an Native American camp and burial ground. The low-head dam was constructed as part of the Civilian Conservation Corps project.  Built of reinforced concrete, the design was intended increase discharge capacity without widening the river.  The drop gives the appearance of a natural waterfall.
