Thanks, Frank. Yes, this is the place at the foot of Dixie Rd, right at the lights. The land it's on once extended into Long Branch but they divided off the east-most part for what is now Marie Curtis park. The lakefront bike path circles it down by the lake. You can still see the old water tower, which they are apparently preserving.
