Park History
Before Martha Lake Park was developed, it was known as "Martha Lake Resort," which offered the only beach access to the lake. The previous owners of the property hoped to develop condominiums or a business park on the property. Community groups organized and requested that the property be developed into a regional park. After the owner's development plans proved to be infeasible by the county, the wishes of the community groups were realized and the parks and recreation department began the process for park acquisition and development. The project was strongly supported by the Martha Lake Community Club and local lake residents.
