Community Origins This park is located at 16th St. and Jefferson near downtown Phoenix. It was once called “Phoenix Park” back in 1890s. Moses Sherman used it as a way to give people, riding the tram line, a place to sit and mingle while waiting on the next tram . In 1914, it was purchased by the city of Phoenix and was named Eastlake Park. African American history is deeply rooted in Eastlake Park since the beginning. MLK birthday celebration takes place at the park every year until it became too big for the space they had. Civil rights activists have visited the park often, and it has served as the starting point of numerous marches for equality in the Capitol. The Phoenix Arts Commission Civil Rights Memorial is located there, as well as the annual Juneteenth celebration that is held every year. 2
