What is "washington park"

Washington Park was the name given to three major league Baseball parks on two different sites in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, located at Third Street and Fourth Avenue. The first two sites were diagonally opposite each other at that intersection. The third site was the same as the second site.

Located at 1400 Williams Boulevard, the park features walking trails, a botanical garden, large duck pond, rose garden, carillon, and carillon concerts.

Substantial drainage and dredging were required to turn the wetland portions of the future park into ponds and grassy space. Washington Park is operated by the Springfield Park District.

Washington Park is a city square in Downtown Newark, New Jersey. It is the northernmost of the three downtown parks, along with Lincoln Park and Military Park, that were laid out in the colonial era.

It is home to several public statues and is surrounded by historical, civic, and commercial buildings, including those of Rutgers-Newark.

Washington Park Station is a light rail station on the Newark Light Rail's Broad Street Extension. Service on this line opened on July 17, 2006 at 1:00 p.m. EDT.

It is located in Downtown Newark, New Jersey, on the southbound side of Broad Street between Bridge and Lombardy Streets adjacent to the park that lends its name to the station. It is directly across from the headquarters of IDT Corporation and 1 Washington Park and during the afternoon rush hour carries many outgoing commuters from these buildings to Newark Penn Station.

Two key attractions near this station are the Newark Museum and Newark Public Library. The station is also located near the James Street Commons Historic neighborhood and the Polhemus house. The station is above ground, as is most of the NLR second line, except for a two-track tunnel having a portal to the south of Center Street that connects the line to the original NCS line at Newark Penn Station. This station receives only southbound trains, which leave Newark Broad Street Station and continue on to NJPAC/Center Street Station and Newark Penn Station.

The station also features two installations of public art by Willie Cole, a native Newarker and African American conceptual and visual artist.

Washington Park was a baseball park in Los Angeles, California, United States. It was primarily used for baseball and was the home of the Los Angeles Angels from 1912 until they moved to Wrigley Field late in the 1925 season.

Prior to 1912, the Angels had played at a ballfield next to Chutes Park, a city amusement park. The new Washington Park, located at Washington and Hill Streets in South Los Angeles, was just a short distance from Chutes Park.

The Venice PCL entry of 1913-14 also played its home games at Washington Park, except for Sunday morning and special holiday games.

A football game between USC and California on November 25, 1915 drew 8,000 spectators, the largest crowd to have seen a football game in southern California at that time.

The sources say that William Wrigley, Jr., owner of the Angels was rebuffed in his request to build an underground parking garage beneath the ballpark. He then decided to build a new ballpark, which was named Wrigley Field and opened in 1925 at 42nd Street and Avalon Boulevard.

The park was demolished in the Mid-1950s. The site is now occupied by a multi-story shopping center called LA Mart, and parking lots.

Washington Park (formerly Western Division of South Park, also Park No. 21) is a park between Cottage Grove Avenue and Martin Luther King Drive, (originally known as "Grand Boulevard") located at 5531 S. Martin Luther King Dr. in the Washington Park community area on the South Side of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois. It was named for President George Washington in 1880. Washington Park is the largest of four Chicago Park District parks named after persons surnamed Washington (the others are Dinah Washington Park, Harold Washington Park and Washington Square Park, Chicago). This park was the proposed site of the Olympic Stadium and the Olympic swimming venue for Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics. Washington Park was added to the National Register of Historic Places on August 20, 2004.

Washington Park is bounded by West 12th, Race and Elm Streets in the Over-the-Rhine neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio, United States. The park is owned and operated by the Cincinnati Park Board. The park served as Presbyterian and Episcopal cemeteries before it was acquired by the city from 1858 to 1863. The park has an old-fashioned bandstand and many trees. Several American Civil War cannons and busts of Civil War heroes Frederick Hecker and Colonel Robert Latimer McCook, who commanded the German 9th Ohio Infantry (Die Neuner) are in the park. There is also a bronze tablet (1931) given by Sons and Daughters of the (Die Neuner) 9th O.V.I.

The Centennial Exposition of the Ohio Valley and Central States was held here in 1888 with great success. It was, in addition to the celebration of Ohio's remarkable progress, designed to celebrate the settlement of the Northwest Territory.

The park stands in the shadow of the Cincinnati Music Hall and the now-demolished Washington Park School was at its north end. A new School for Creative and Performing Arts is across Twelfth Street at its south end.

Washington Park (formally Washington Baseball Park) was the name of two different minor league baseball parks in Indianapolis, Indiana, in the early 1900s. They were used primarily by the Indianapolis Indians before that club moved to Perry Stadium in 1931.

The first Washington Park was at 3001 East Washington Street where it meets Gray Street. That ballpark was built in 1900 in the southwest corner of that intersection. In 1902 the American Association's Indianapolis Indians moved into this facility and stayed there for three seasons. It later became the site of the Wonderland Amusement Park.

The second home of the Indianapolis Indians, from 1905 to 1931, is now referred to as the West Washington Street Park, but at the time was known as either Washington Park or Washington Baseball Grounds. The park was located at 1235 West Washington Street, just west of the White River. Like its predecessor at Washington and Gray, this was a very rudimentary baseball venue with an all-wooden grandstand and a capacity of just over 4,000. In 1909 the park was completely rebuilt, and the seating capacity was enlarged to 20,000, the most in the minor leagues, due mainly to the addition of extensive bleacher sections. It also boasted the largest playing field of any minor league park, and was larger than many major league parks of the era. Aside from hosting the American Association's Indians, this venue was home to the Indianapolis ABCs of the Negro National League from 1920 to 1926. The land occupied by the second incarnation of the ballpark, as well as the route of Washington Street itself, was substantially changed in the 1980s when the Indianapolis Zoo was built. Portions of the zoo now cover the site, and a marker was placed on July 22, 2011.

Washington Park is a historic public park and national historic district located on Lake Michigan at Michigan City, LaPorte County, Indiana. The park encompasses 13 contributing buildings, 3 contributing sites, 11 contributing structures, and 21 contributing objects, and includes the Michigan City Zoo. It was established in 1891 and later developed by the Works Progress Administration and its predecessors during the 1930s. Notable features include the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument (1896), former park headquarters building (1934), bandstand (1911), World War I doughboy monument (1926), tennis court (c. 1933), log picnic shelter (c. 1936), and four-story observation tower (1936).

It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.
