Detention Pond is a vital flood risk reduction infrastructure owned by the local government in Woodward, Oklahoma. Designed by Meshek Engineering, this detention pond plays a crucial role in preventing flood damage in the area. Situated near an unnamed tributary to the North Canadian River, this stone-core dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 371.96 acre-feet.
With a maximum discharge capacity of 6006.5 cubic feet per second, Cedar Ave. Detention Pond serves as a protective barrier during heavy rainfall events. Its uncontrolled spillway, with a width of 4 feet, helps regulate water flow and prevent overflow.

With a history of effective flood risk reduction, this infrastructure stands as a testament to proactive water resource management in the region.
