Camp Joy Park, located around Lake Worth, was not officially designated as a City park until November 1970. Previously a private camp, it was developed for public use after the Park Board terminated a commercial lease with Union Bank & Trust (Jess Faulkner) in 1957. The board paid Faulkner $2,925 for improvements and allowed him a small portion of the lease for 10 years to move his store building. In 1958, a boat ramp was built at the park, which now spans 8.23 acres and features a playground, picnic tables, and grills. Fishing is permitted.
