In 1886, Vancouver B.C.'s first City Council dedicated the 1,000 acre peninsula for park and recreation purposes. On September 27, 1887 Stanley Park was officially opened, establishing the fledgling city's first official "greenspace". The park was named for Lord Stanley, Governor General of Canada. circa 1917.
On June 10th and 11th, 1910 there was a big celebration to dedicate the new stadium, adjacent to Tacoma High School. Area school children performed Irish jigs, Scottish reels, Spanish, Swedish, Maypole and Indian dances, a sword dance--and the minuet pictured here. There was also tumbling, rope-skipping and the formation of the American flag by the children.
Built in 1892, and made out of Wilkeson and Pittsburg grey freestone, finished with Tenino bluestone--this was demolished in 1959 after the County-City Building was constructed.
