Description
Photograph of an infield view of Hollywood Park Racetrack showing the grand stand and a pond, ca.1930. A small lake covers the foreground, while two swans are observable swimming by a small vegetated island. Towards the back, a man holding a water hose is standing on a grassy area, which runs along a fence, while water sprinklers are splashing water into the air. A large building exposing a spectators' stand is visible in the background.
The back of the photograph reads: "View of stand at Hollywood Park showing pond with island for ducks on infield of track".
