DISCOVERY PARK IMAGES - ONLINE

In an effort to communicate better the challenges currently ongoing in the Park, I've decided to start posting images that will help explain these issues. Most DP enthusiasts visit the Park in a very habitual way - they walk the same loop, or visit the same places every day or week. It always surprises me how many areas of the Park remain unknown, even to folks who have walked in the Park for many years.

Thanks for your interest!
Aerial view of building 417 (Fort HQ) from the east looking west. The series of prefab buildings in the foreground are part of the Fort Hospital site, now a growing forest.

Another aerial from the Korean War days. Check out the rifle range at the site of todays north parking lot.

A view of the hospital site looking south. The large building in the right foreground was one of the original buildings at the Fort, the original hospital built in 1900.

Can you guess what this building is?
