Aerial view of Washington Park, home of the Los Angeles Angels. The bleachers are practically bursting at the seams with eager spectators cheering on their favorite teams. It is unknown which team is out on the field but may be either the Los Angeles Angels, or the other home team, the Hollywood Stars. Hill Street is visible across the top of the photograph, with numerous dwellings in the perimeter. 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.
