Disambiguation[edit]

This page should probably be moved to Emancipation Park (Houston) to disambiguate from Emancipation Park (Charlottesville, Virginia), and possibly other parks of the same name. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:04, 12 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Done. I moved Emancipation Park to Emancipation Park (Houston), and changed Emancipation Park to a disambiguation page. --Neo-Jay (talk) 10:15, 15 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This has nothing to do with Emancipation Park in Houston[edit]

In 1938, the park was seized by the city, obtained via eminent domain, with support from the Public Works Administration and United States Housing Authority, for the site of Rosewood Courts, a federally funded public housing project for African Americans and part of Austin's city planners' scheme to further segregate the community.[11][12] Rosewood became one of the only green spaces available to Black Austinites. During this period, the park constructed a recreation center, swimming pool, and bathhouse, designed by prominent Houston architect William Ward Watkin. The buildings have been used for after-school and summer programs for children, community meetings, and classes for youth and adults.[13] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:2C0:4680:19B0:BD9A:F61B:3078:2508 (talk) 03:20, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
