Aqueduct Park

Aqueduct Park is a small urban park located on the Cadona Aqueduct in Cadona, Carrington. The park was created in 2013 on the disused aqueduct. The aqueduct is being looked into as a candidate for national monument status.

History of the aqueduct
The aqueduct was built around 1680-1685, as a way to bring water from the hills outside Carrington to the city, specifically the Aqueduct House, which collected the fresh water.

After 1905, the city stopped using the aqueduct for transporting water, given that an expansion of the aqueduct would be required to reach new water sources, and the city had no money to spend on that. Eventually wagons and trucks would then be able to bring in the city's water supply, leaving the aqueduct permanently out of use.

The aqueduct house became used to store many of the city's historical items, and the aqueduct itself became closed off, except to a few urban explorers who would climb it, mostly at night.

Over the years a number of ideas surfaced as to what to do with it, such as using it to store garbage, using it as an artillery post and simply demolishing it. When the Nazi Germans landed paratroopers in the Carrington area on 20 May 1941, there was no damage at all to the aqueduct.
