Lakeland Park

At the end of the urban renewal process, Lakeland had its first park. Developed along the south side of Lakeland Road, it includes a pavilion, basketball and tennis courts, and a playground. There are trail links to Lake Artemesia, the Paint Branch Trail, and Anacostia trails. The photograph shows Rose Adams (left center), Thomas Randall (center), and George Stewart (right) engaged in a game of horse shoes in the park. The other individuals are unidentified.
