Between 1933 and 1940, four thousand men worked out of two camps at South Mountain Park. During this time the men constructed over 40 miles of hiking and equestrian trails, 18 buildings, 15 ramadas, 134 fire pits, 30 water faucets, water dams, and other features within the park. The architectural style for the buildings built at South Mountain Park between 1933 and 1937 was a cooperative effort between the National Park Service and the City Parks Supervisor. The slab stone masonry buildings were consistent with the Park Service's use of regionally traditional themes utilizing environmentally compatible materials. Thousands of men labored tirelessly to create an enduring legacy in South Mountain Park, constructing miles of trails, buildings, and other infrastructure that still stand today. Their efforts resulted in a park that harmoniously blends into its natural surroundings, reflecting the values of the National Park Service and the City Parks Supervisor.
