One of the postcards featured a bandstand in Washington Park.  Where is that park?

From the book Greetings from Tucson, it appears that Washington Park was one of the first names for Armory Park.? Not sure about the bandstand though.? Hope this helps.? Check out the page in the book on Google.? its only a preview, but it brought up that particular page when I brought it up.

Hope this helps a little!

I never heard of Washington park in Tucson...there are a few Phoenix are postcards in that deck...perhaps that is one of them.

Googled Washington Park in Phoenix.  None there either.  Maybe it was Armory Park, although, I read that it was originally Military Park.

Under the photo it states that Armory Park was originally Washington Park, it changed names to Armory Park in 1914 after the construction of the Armory.

This should answer the question.

Glad the information was interesting!? I've done a lot of research on downtown and 4th avenue but didn't know the park had a different name either.? Always something new to learn!? Love the group, always makes me think!
