This stadium was home to the Los Angeles Angels, a minor league team in the Pacific Coast League. A variety of residences are visible throughout the neighborhood. Photograph dated August 1924.Washington Park was home of the Los Angeles Angels from 1912 until they moved to Wrigley Field in 1925 the park was located in downtown Los Angeles on Washington, 8th St., and Hill Street. Although Washington Park could hold up to 15,000 "kranks" - as fans at the turn of the century were called, it had very limited parking facilities. Wrigley decided to build a new ballpark, which was named Wrigley Field, and the team moved to its new home during the 1925 season. Wrigley Field housed the Angels from 1925 until 1957. Prior to the team playing at Washington Park, they played at a field on the north end of Chutes Park, located between Grand Ave. (west), Main St.
