This park straddling Spring Creek was developed by Dr. T.O. Goeres. The spring-fed swimming pool on the east bank of the creek was built in the 1930s by the WPA. 2020: Goeres Park was listed in the NRHP in 2009 and it was constructed around a portion of Spring Creek in the city of Lodi between 1937 and 1942 by workers employed by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and it was largely designed by Franz A. Aust, a professor of landscape architecture at the University of Wisconsin. Goeres Park (ca.101 Fair St.) is partially encircled by N. Main St. (WIS 113) and Fair St., and all of the Main St. side of the Park and part of the Fair St. sides are edged by concrete curb and gutter and the historic boundary of the Park abuts the back edges of this curb. "This lovely park straddling Spring Creek was developed by Dr. T.O. Goeres. The spring-fed swimming pool on the east bank of the creek was built in the 1930s by the WPA."
