The New Gateway to Downtown Rogers
L
ake Atalanta is a special place for many and an important part of the historical fabric of Rogers. The reservoir, built from 1936-38 as a public works project of the Works Progress Administration (WPA), is named for Atalanta Gregory, the wife of O.L. Gregory,
who donated most of the land that now forms the lake. For the first ten years of its existence, the area around Lake Atalanta was undeveloped and used primarily for fishing. In 1948 and 1949, a swimming pool, miniature golf course, roller skating rink, and restaurant were constructed. In the mid-1950s, Lake Atalanta became a water
source for the city with the construction of a water treatment plant. It’s a place where many memories have been made. On Saturday, October 29, after more than a year of renovations, the City of Rogers celebrated Lake Atalanta’s grand re-opening hosting over a thousand people from the community.
