Washington Park (baseball)
Washington Park was the name given to three Major League Baseball parks (or four, by some reckonings) on two different sites in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, located at Third Street and Fourth Avenue. The two sites were diagonally opposite each other at that intersection. First park The first Washington Park was bounded by Third and Fifth Streets, and Fourth and Fifth Avenues. The property contained an old building then called the Gowanus House, which stands today, albeit largely reconstructed. Known today as the Old Stone House, it was used as an impromptu headquarters by General George Washington during the Battle of Long Island, during a delaying action by 400 Maryland troops against approximately 2000 British and Hessian troops that allowed a good portion of the Continental Army to retreat to fortified positions on Brooklyn Heights. Those events inspired the ballpark's name. The ballpark was the home of the Brooklyn baseball club during 1883–18 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Washington Park (Indianapolis)
Washington Park (formally Washington Baseball Park) was the name of two different minor league baseball parks in Indianapolis, Indiana, in the early twentieth century. They were used primarily by the Indianapolis Indians before that club moved to Perry Stadium in 1931. History 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. Initially it was the home of the Indianapolis entry in the then-minor American League. A photo of "Washington Park, the new ball grounds" in the ''Indianapolis News'' on March 27, 1900, reveals an all-wood, temporary-looking structure. The papers had reported that the wood from the previous ballpark had been transported to the new site to rebuild the stands, not an unusual practice in those days. In 1902 the American Association's Indianapolis Indians moved into this facility and stayed there for three seasons. It later became the site ...

Washington Park Race Track
Washington Park Race Track was a popular horse racing venue in the Chicago metropolitan area from 1884 until 1977. It had two locations during its existence. It was first situated in what is the current location of the Washington Park Subdivision of the Woodlawn community area of Chicago in Cook County, Illinois, United States. This is located immediately south of both the current Washington Park community area and Washington Park. The track was later relocated to Homewood, Illinois, which is also in Cook County. The original track and its accompanying Jockey Club were social draws in the late 19th century, but modern developments and changes in the law led to the decline of both. In its prime, the track was an especially important social gathering place on opening day and the day of the American Derby, which ranked as one of horse racing's highest purses. The Jockey Club, designed by Solon Spencer Beman, hosted a social gathering led by General Philip Sheridan, who ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

It was primarily used for baseball and was the home of the Los Angeles Angels in the Pacific Coast League (PCL) from its opening on March 28, 1911, until they moved to Wrigley Field late in the 1925 season. The final game at Washington Park was held on September 27, 1925. Through the 1910 season, the Angels had played at the ballfield contained within Chutes Park, a city amusement park bounded by Washington (north), Main (east), 21st (south) and Grand (west). In the 1910-1911 off-season, the old ballpark and some of the rides were demolished, and a new ballpark was built within the same large block. Sanborn maps show that the new infield and covered stands were positioned south and east of their predecessor, overlaying the centerfield area of the old park and much of the former waterslide area.
