Washington Park (Indianapolis) : ウィキペディア英語版 | 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 1900s. They were used primarily by the Indianapolis Indians before that club moved to Perry Stadium in 1931. 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. In 1902 the American Association's Indianapolis Indians moved into this facility and stayed there for three seasons. It later became the site of the Wonderland Amusement Park. The second home of the Indianapolis Indians, from 1905 to 1931, is now referred to as the West Washington Street Park, but at the time was known as either Washington Park or Washington Baseball Grounds. The park was located at 1235 West Washington Street, just west of the White River. Like its predecessor at Washington and Gray, this was a very rudimentary baseball venue with an all-wooden grandstand and a capacity of just over 4,000. In 1909 the park was completely rebuilt, and the seating capacity was enlarged to 20,000, the most in the minor leagues, due mainly to the addition of extensive bleacher sections. It also boasted the largest playing field of any minor league park, and was larger than many major league parks of the era. Aside from hosting the American Association's Indians, this venue was home to the Indianapolis ABCs of the Negro National League from 1920 to 1926. The land occupied by the second incarnation of the ballpark, as well as the route of Washington Street itself, was substantially changed in the 1980s when the Indianapolis Zoo was built. Portions of the zoo now cover the site, and a marker was placed on July 22, 2011. ==See also==
