At turn of the 20th century there was a widespread movement to establish parks all over the United States. Garfield Park was one of many parks founded in Cleveland at that time.

It was also a place to pass the new leisure time many working-class people had with the dawn of the Industrial Age. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
