100–130 Collingwood Street

1. 1939

   The city began buying property on the south end of the block bounded by 18th, Collingwood, Diamond and 19th streets for the district's first park, but the war and a lack of funds and materials delayed the work for more than a decade. A $12 million bond measure for playgrounds and recreation spaces passed in 1947; the city acquired the last property on the block in 1950 and broke ground on the Eureka Valley Playground in June 1951.
