By hard work and at great expense he has fitted up grounds beautifully located below the city, that is just the thing for public or private picnic parties, dances, excursions, etc.

[5][6][7] Fries Park prospered until increasing use of the automobile made the public more mobile and longing for new sights.
The main building at the park, the dance hall, was transformed into a house by Fries’s grandson, Lewis V. Moyers.
The only remains of the park is a now dry cistern and the ruins of a bomb shelter built in 1962 in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis.
