Samuel R. Kramer, Grier Scheetz and Issac Groff established the Menlo Park Association in 1891. They purchased 5 acres and leased the water rights through to Sellersville from the Everhart estate.
In the area that is now known as Lenape Park, the creek was dredged to make a swimming hole complete with a water slide. By 1939, a concrete swimming pool replaced the swimming hole. The pool was 60 x 168 feet and cost $30,000 to build.
In 2007, the original Menlo Pool was replaced by the Menlo Aquatic Center.
