Description	This photograph of Delmar Garden Amusement Park was taken from the top of the Woman's Magazine Building about 1904. The Amusement Park opened around the turn of the century on Delmar Boulevard at the end of the Delmar Streetcar line, offering a variety of entertainment venues, rides and eating and drinking establishments. At the time University City was incorporated it had a somewhat unsavory reputation, but management followed the new ordinances, and the Amusement Park remained popular until it closed in the late teens. The Delmar Race Track was located just east of Delmar Garden, and the cupola on the Race Track stands is just visible over the trees. Tracks for the Creve Coeur Streetcar run across the center of the photo. The Lewis Publishing Company baseball team practiced on the ball field in the foreground.
