"A four acre park, originally referred to as the "playing field", serves as the central element of the site. Triangular in plan, this contributing site began simply as a large green space lined with trees. On August 21, 1957, the Public Housing Administration turned over the title for the park to the City of Richmond. 2 The area remains a public park, but has undergone a few alterations. The city formed a baseball diamond in the southeast corner and placed children's playground equipment enclosed by a chain link fence in the northeastern segment just south of the Community Building."
