Browning Park

During 1912 extensive im­ provements were made at Browning Park. Fifteenth street and Twenty-third avenue. which has been made suitable for football and baseball games.

Being conveniently situated with reference to street car lines it has proved a great success as an athletic field. With the help of the high school teams the city has erected bleachers and enclosed a part of the grounds with wire fence. Better approaches will soon be provided. It is also hoped that a children's playground may soon be added on this tract. There is also considerable grading to be clone and the ravine to the east is to be filled.
