Parade Ground

This large open field between Officers' Row and the enlisted men's Barracks Row was used by the army for drill practice, training, and review. When called to action, troops assembled here prior to departure. It also provided a prime location for baseball games and other athletic competitions held between different units stationed at the fort. Reduced somewhat by the construction of the girls' dormitory, the Parade Ground continued this latter service as it became the athletic field for the Theodore Roosevelt School.
