Metropolitan Park, Tucumcari, NM

The pool circa 1965 (I Love New Mexico Blog)
Metropolitan Park, also known as Five Mile Park, was built by the CCC around 1940. At the time, it featured the largest pool in the Southwest. Today it's a ruin. I often wonder why we don't build stuff like that anymore, or at least preserve what we have.
