From California, A Guide to the Golden State, 1939
"3. LAKESIDE PARK, irregularly bordering the N. shore of Lake
Merritt, threaded by Bellevue Ave., has facilities for tennis, bowling-
on-the-green, and horseshoe pitching, and a municipal bandstand where
free outdoor concerts are given on Sundays, August to October, 2-4 p.m."
The tennis courts and horse shoe pits are gone, but the lawn bowling is still there. The bandstand is still there, though I didnt see any free concerts (though there was some picnic near it) In the park now is Fairy Land, a private amusement park for kids.
