Washington Park History
Washington Park was a long time coming! The majority of the park was acquired by the Park Board between 1929 and 1937 as gifts and purchases. In 1938, a request for a grant was submitted and the park lands were obtained. As park development continued, Lions Field and Duensing Tract were acquired in 1944 and 1948 respectively.
It all came to be the park we have today, which continues to grow and evolve!
