Beale Park is a public park located in Bakersfield, California. It is Bakersfield’s first park, located on Oleander St. ==History== The park was constructed in 1908, on of land donated by Truxtun Beale. He also donated landscaping for the park, the Greek style amphitheater and swimming pool. Since then, the park has seen many improvements. Two large reservable picnic areas were added, as well as many smaller individual areas. Several different types of sports courts and fields were also added.〔(Beale Park ). City of Bakersfield Recreation & Parks. Accessed: 04-08-2010.〕 Over the years, the pool, similar to most of the city pools, needed to be refurbished. However, in 2004, with the opening of the aquatics center in downtown Bakersfield, it was decided not to refurbish the pool. It was removed and replaced with a spray park.〔(Grand Opening of Water Play Area at Beale Park ). City of Bakersfield Recreation & Parks. Accessed: 04-08-2010.〕 In 1977, a large wind storm hit Bakersfield. The roof of an aviary was blown off, and at least two parakeets escaped. Since then, a large parakeet population has settled in and around the park. This population has also spread to Beach Park and Hart Park. They have grown to be largest population of naturalized parakeets in the world.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beale Park (Bakersfield)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
