The Spanish Colonial Revival-style Ozark Bathhouse was built in the summer of 1922. The main building is set between low towers, and the receding windows are suggestive of Art Deco style. The bathhouse, only 14,000 square feet, was meant to cater to middle class bathers, and featured 27 tubs. A painted wooden porch enclosure was removed in the late 1990s to return the building to its original appearance. The Ozark closed in 1977. Today, the Ozark functions as a cultural center, and is used for park events and programs as well as community programs co-sponsored by area civic groups. The cultural center is open from noon to 5 p.m. Fridays through Sundays, with free admission.
