Thanks to the WStoday newsletter for pointing out that Washington Park was "the first public park in Winston-Salem. It was initially founded in the 1890s as Sunny Side Park, with walking trails, picnic areas, a baseball and football field, tennis and croquet courts, and space for lakeside recreation. The newsletter also included a link to the park's history. See comments below for the link.
