Description
A group of boys play baseball with many onlookers at the Elizabeth Street playground. Hester How Public School, built one year before this photo was taken, is in the background. The Elizabeth Street playground received city funding and was improved in 1914 to provide the children of the Ward, an immigrant neighbourhood, a suitable place to play.
