Year that Lincoln Park opened?[edit]

Changed the opening date of Lincoln Park from 1867 to 1894. The article Lincoln Park gives an opening date of 1894, as does the only on-line reference I found (sorry, lost the URL). And 1894 would be a more typical opening year for this type of park, 1867 being quite early (although certainly not out of the question). Considering all this, I considered 1894 more likely to be the correct year. Herostratus 01:41, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These are two different parks. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 02:20, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Citations?[edit]

The citations for this page are somewhat vague. Especially, I am interested in some of the information related to rowing. Where did the statement regarding Lake Quinsigamond being the "fourth best" natural rowing lake in the world come from? Thanks.cbowman 02:34, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
