This reservoir was once a water source for the city of Reading, dating back to 1838 when Egelman's Springs were discovered. The park's reservoir was once considered one of the most picturesque spots in the Reading Park system. However, it was officially abandoned for water supply purposes in 1935 and has since been converted into a public park for the community to enjoy.
