I think you at the wrong end of the city.... Think this park is off off Greenwoood St. I lived on Greenwood St in the early 70's and a newly wed. My wife and I used to walk around a park that was behind our three decker.

Greenwood park is surrounded by Greenwood Street, Forsberg Street, and Victoria Ave. My grandmother lived on the edge and she used to take me there when she watched me during the day. I'd go swimming, go on the swings, and then we'd get ice cream from the "ice cream man" that came around in his truck.

Greenwood Park was renovated a few years ago. It has had a public pool, baseball fields, basketball courts and a playground on it for a long time.

I grew up at Greenwood Park.It is in Quinsig village.They used to have bonfires there on July 4th.everyone would bring all there junk and throw it on the pile and then July 4th they would light it.Also there was the rec center there and we called it the White House..The picture shows the grill that was there for everyone to enjoy.As teens ,we hung out all over that park.There were small caves on the top of the hill and a beautiful flag pole.Sully was the caretaker and the Bergerons lived in the park. Also Salmonsens dairy was at the corner of the park.What great memories I have of this park.I lived on Harwich St at the top of Forsberg St

This picture shows the pit at Greenwood park.I spent my whole life growing up in and around this park.We played pick up ball all summer.Used to have bonfires on July 4th.There was a big building on the hill and we called it the White House.They had a huge 3ft deep public swimming pool and had no filtering just emptied slowly and filled slowly.Some of the best times of my life were spent there.Sully was the park boss and he was so cool.

Smitty!!! The same Richard Smith that lived up near Brenda and Leslie?Remember this park fondly too! We all had a lot of great times here; yes 4th of July was the best and of course the horshoe pits, it was a great park to grow up with & I'm hoping it is still great for all the folks still living in Quinsig Village!
I remember both Smitty and Pinky from Greenwood park days.
I too remember Pinky, Smitty and Mike from the park I spent a lot of time there A lot of good memories with good people
I lived on Tatman Street almost at Jay Street and the park had an entrance at the end of Jay Street. My brother spent more time there than me but I can remember not being able to use the wading pool because of Polio. That should say how many years ago it was. I can remember the bonfires on the 4th. One year in particular someone put a set of close together to look like a person and set this in a chair on top of the fire. Pretty cool for a little kid.
