Vulcan Park isn't just Vulcan's home; it's also a public park. The original project, funded by the WPA (Works Progress Administration) aimed for "general beautification of the entire acreage" to create" an ideal spot for untold scenic beauty." The plantings in the park today reflect the original WPA balance between the naturalistic and the formal.
