In the 1950s a rock and sand quarry expanded the lake to its current size of almost 100 acres. After residents advocated for the creation of a park for the lake, the city bought the land around the lake, and created Gray’s Lake Park in 1970. After the [[Great Flood of 1993\|flood of 1993]] damaged the area, a local couple by the name Kruidenier donated money for renovations of the park that brought the park to its current apearence. == References ==
