Entrance to Washington Park, 96 years later
One of the joys of living in the Historic Westside of Springfield is Washington Park. It has always been respected by Springfield residents. The entrance to the park was on West Grand Boulevard. (Springfield city boundaries were all Grand Streets - North Grand, South Grand, West Grand (MacArthur Blvd now) and East Grand (Martin Luther King Drive). Note the combination of automobiles and horse and buggies.
