The War-land Heights Park w a s dedicated in July 1934, and w a s tke center of Weirtan's recreaticna! activities far decades. The contrlbcting site o f the park, alsa has twc contributing structures and one building. The main facility is the Margaret Manson Weir Memirial Pool, which is an avoid design, with the poo! area being elevated above the first Cloo~- dressing raoms and f iltr-ation roon;. Built r n 1934, with funds from the David Weir Estate and maintenance support from the Weir-tor Steel Corporation, the swimming pool has provided Weirton residents with summer recreation facilities for almost 6C years. Also in the park is a large wood tidber and stone qicnic shelter built by Weirtun stezl ernployoes during t3e depression years, as well as a garage for a tool shed. There are t ~ ~ o small noncontributing picnic she1 ters that were constructed in 198q a)-d 1991 , a small concessian stand and the play ground equipment.

The Marland Height3 Park is 13cated o n the ncrtheast corner o f W:llrams Drivo and Riverview Drive. T h e Marland Heights neighbtrhood is sited on 3

blufc between the cectral business dis2rlcr of ljeirton and t h e Chic: River. T h e park borders a residgntial area 0.F homes built from c. 1920 t c the 1950s on one side, ard the Williams Ccuntrh{ Clab, and a natural ravine on the other sides. The Marlanc! Heights Park is basically rectangular in shape with an arm to the s o ~ t h along i3urhanan Street. Sycamore tregs line the walk to the pool, where gardens and grassy areas were once lined with low hedges along t h e sidewalks. The hedges died out r n the lafe i970s and were not replarod although scme of the small garden p !o ts !?ear the Gaci have been reestablished. On the west side of Xilliams D r i v e thore was a putting course until the mid-1940s when the hillside became 3 picnic area. This was maintained until the 19705 but w a s n o t part o f the land t r a n s i e r for the park in 148G. A small miniature golf course has been placed under the Sycamore trees. The structures, buildings and play equipment are scattered through the park (See site plan! with the park grounds having a mixture o f grass and pea gravol, and hard surfaces for basketball and tennis courts.

The swimming pool is well documented with blueprints from the B i n t z Swimming Pool Company, which were designed by civil engineer Wesley Bintz of Lansing, Michigan. The pool designs were ?atented or February 9, 1926, Number 1,572,463. The blueprints n o t only incl~de the pool and dressing rooms, but mast of the standard equipment used a t t h e pool, such as benches, ladders, diving boards, flocdlights, floor drains, counters and shelves, and a plaque for the building.

From the ground the pool appears as a circular red brick wall approximately 12 feet: in height wit!- cancrzke details t ha t are painted white. The wall surface is divided into multiple bays that are divided b y concrete posts. 6 belt or stringcourse encircles the pool about 30 inches from the top of the wall. The brick wall and concrete coping above the beltcourse is actually free standing and is not attached at the sides to the concrete post that divides each bay . Eolow the beltcourse, in each

The Weir Memorial Pcol also h a s t h e ariginal wire baskets for va luab les . wooden dressing benches, and wooden check-in counter.

The Marland Heights Park is sited on the b l i l f f which overlool;~ downtown Weirton, next to the Williams Country Club which was developed about the same time. The park has Sycamore trees bordering the walks with the pool and large shelter being the focal point=. The rustic stone and log shelter was also built by local steel workers who were laid off during the depression. The bandstand has since been razed, b u t the shuffleboard courts still stand as does a small clapboard garage to hold grounds equipment. The park noN includes two new picnic shelter5 as well as a small concession stard, recreation courts for basketball and tennis, and playground equipme?t.

The park has been a reflection of Weirton's financial health. The 1930s to 1950s were boom years for- the Weit-tcn Steel Company when it had money to l . - v i c h on t h p r i t\/.
