Gallery: Kessler Park Reservoir

An abandoned reservoir lies on a hill in Kessler Park. Trees have dug their roots in the splits of the concrete—which has become a canvas for graffiti artists. Litter and broken glass are dispersed along reservoir’s floor. 

After decades of being vacant, there has been discussion on that should happen to the area. 

Check out photos of the forgotten reservoir.
