Then and Now






The above images are a series of historical postcards compared with present day shots of the same locations. My research involving this park aims to discover how it is utilized today, compared to how it was used in the past.

Visits to the park have provided some valuable information that leads me to draw a few early conclusions. First and foremost, Washington Park is not being utilized to it's full potential. There are very few residents who walk the paths and partake in activities such as fishing. Even the basketball court was fairly empty.

However, I do have to say that, because of the nature of season there may not be as many people out and about as there would be in more favorable weather.

More entries will follow upon further analysis and interviews.
