Description	Handwritten on reverse: "Shelter Lodge in Beatty Park. Steubenville, O. Miller and Son 436 Market St. Steubenville, Ohio." On the front is the photographer's mark (Miller and Son) with the date 4-15-39 The original Beatty Park entrance was located at 737 Lincoln Avenue. The park was comprised of 100 acres and afforded picnic sites and camps for auto trailers. A full-time worker had charge of the city's recreational program here, which included baseball, basketball, swimming, golf and other sports. Beatty Park was reopened for public use in September 2007 thanks to efforts by local individuals working with the Steubenville Parks and Recreation Department after many years of disrepair. A newly installed Disc Golf Course was the focus for the Park's reopening. Other activities for Beatty Park may include hiking trails, a dog park, and bird watching.
