Envelope reads, "Playground, Basketball court in Mosswood Park. 5-10-14." Negative shows women in excercise clothes playing basketball. One woman bent down to pick up the ball. Playground equipment in the background with children playing on it and all around. (4/2002, G. Weininger, from DeWitt Jones, Oakland Parks and Playgrounds, 1935): This estate was purchased by Oakland for $72,000 in 1912 as the result of efforts of Mayor Frank Mott. The park is now the site of the Vagabond Theatre, a large truck with a well-equipped stage, which moves around among California towns.
