	Exposition Park Information
		Exposition Park evolved from the redevelopment of what was known as Agricultural Park early in this century.
		In 1909, California's Sixth District Agricultural Association (owner of the property) and the county and city of Los Angeles agreed to a plan to transform Agricultural Park (renamed Exposition Park in 1910) into a cultural center.
		Exposition Park is bounded by Figueroa Street to the east, King Boulevard to the south, Vermont Avenue to the west, and Exposition Boulevard to the north.

	exposition park, south los angeles, case study by alan loomis \| laforum.org
		In so far as Exposition Park has been and continues to be encroached upon by development (and simultaneously subject to abandonment), it is an allegory for Los Angeles in general.
		Exposition Park was established 1872 as privately owned showground equipped with stables, paddocks and a racetrack for agricultural and horticultural fairs, livestock and farm equipment shows, and horse races.
		By the mid-90s, Exposition Park had been divided north-south between culture and sports, and any sense of cohesion had long been lost - the architecture and planning firm Zimmer Gunsal Frasca was commissioned in 1991 to develop a master plan to bring the disparate elements of the park into order.

	SABR :\|\| Forbes Field Chapter \| FINDING EXPOSITION PARK BY DENIS REPP
		Exposition Park was built in 1890 on the north shore of the Allegheny River, and the team that would shortly be called “the Pirates” moved in a year later.
		Exposition Park lasted for several more year, hosting rival leagues and other games, but by the 1920s it was a memory, lost in the mists of Pittsburgh history.
		Today’s fans and players view PNC Park as the best ballpark in the land, a field that hosts the finest ballplayers in the world, and so it is. In their day, however, people said exactly the same things about Three Rivers Stadium, Forbes Field, and Exposition Park.

		The walkways of the park were redesigned according to Olmstead's plan, and on the hill where the house stood, the same plan called for an athletic complex along with a picnic shelter, all in the Mission style that was the rage at the time.
		The entire park was surrounded by a hedge-row that had the effect of insulating the park as an oasis in the busy city that had by now fully grown around it.
		The park has continued to be a place for picnics, both private and public, for reunions, weddings, weekend concerts and music festivals, for ice cream socials and auctions, and of course often just as a quiet green place to walk, to play to rest or to reflect.

	Welcome to Conneaut Lake Park!

		Olmsted was unalterably opposed to building in the middle of the park because it would eliminate all chance of creating a sylvan, semi-rural respite from the city, which, as his father's work consistently taught, was the main function of a large urban park.
		They knew that if the exposition was located in the heart of the park a car line would be essential to bring there the bulk of tourists from downtown the railway station and port.
		Although the Exposition was in debt, its never-ending faith in the value of advertising led it to schedule an elaborate exposition groundbreaking ceremony and associated activities on July 19-22, 1911, which ended up costing $25,800.

		The home of the Pittsburgh Pirates at the start of the last century, Exposition Park is in the same general area as PNC Park, and the site of the grounds was almost exactly occupied by Three Rivers Stadium.
		Interestingly, the park had a life span of only a little over 20 years.
		Most times, it is only seen in the background of a more general, wide angle view of the city, "The Point", etc. As can be seen in this image, Exposition Park offered some of the open views that PNC Park captures, and that were cut out by the enclosed stands of Three Rivers Stadium.
