	Shrubbery and trees were planted, walks were laid out and flower beds planned. (7) In May [[CONNOLLY, Thomas\|Thomas CONNOLLY]] pledged $100 towards the cost and [[GRAVES, Julius K.\|Julius K.

(8) During the same month, the trees and tree boxes surrounding the park were coated with whitewash as a protection against vermin which the ''Dubuque Herald'' said at least improved their appearance.

	Despite the interest in park improvement, a resolution offered in the council to establish sidewalks failed. (12) A fountain, however, was installed and first used on August 7, 1877. (13) The formal opening of the park with its additions was made on August 22, 1877. (14) In September, an announcement was made that turnstiles were being erected. (15) On October 3, 1878 the ''Dubuque Herald'' announced that the turnstiles were fitted with spring catches "which keeps them shut when not in use and prevents stock from entering."

(15) On October 3, 1878 the ''Dubuque Herald'' announced that the turnstiles were fitted with spring catches "which keeps them shut when not in use and prevents stock from entering." Stock was apparently not the only nuisance in the park. An attendant was hired to protect the premises and rehired in 1879. (16)

	On June 1, 1878, a petition was received by the City Council for the erection of a drinking fountain in the park. The council proposed that it would pay one-half of the cost with the other half coming from private donations. The issue came up again in 1879 when the citizens surrounding the park agreed to pay toward the expense of installation. (16) When a fountain was finally dedicated on May 28, 1884, it was topped by a statue of Dr. [[COGSWELL, Henry\|Henry COGSWELL]]. A continual problem for the park was stray cattle. Pushing through the turnstiles at the approaches to the park, cattle grazed contentedly unless impounded.

	In 1890 Washington Park was considered for the site of the new [[DUBUQUE COUNTY COURTHOUSE]]. The site was originally reserved by the government as a government park although the city was given the use of the land for park purposes. Around 1878 the federal government passed an act authorizing Dubuque County to use the land for a court house if all the abutting property owners agreed.

	In 1890 water mains were laid to the [[GAZEBO]] in Washington and the other in [[JACKSON PARK]].

	[[Image:imp850.jpg\|left\|thumb\|450px\|This rare view of Washington Park shows a view without the gazebo.]]The square has been the scene of many events. In 1895 the neighborhood ladies called for street-front benches in the park side streets. The thought was that more public benches would be less attractive to the "tramps" who commandeered the benches in the middle of the park. The evening park concerts in mid-1895 were so popular that the crowd filled both the park and adjacent streets. In 1896 William F. "Buffalo Bill" Cody staged a Wild West show on the grounds. President William McKinley spoke from the park's gazebo on October 16, 1899. More recently the site saw anti-war demonstrations and the annual [[NATIVITY SCENE]].

	Ravages of nature and man often took their toll on the park. In 1894 the park grass was so parched that firemen from the 4th and Locust firehouse brought hoses to water the plants. The old pagoda was finally demolished and sold for its salvage value in 1900. The ''Herald'' welcomed the move, saying it had been “an eyesore for the past several years.” [[DUTCH ELM DISEASE]] and storms destroyed many of the trees in the 1960s.

	In 1946 several councilmen led by Frank Van Duelman agreed to a proposal that the city should considered using part of Washington Park as a parking lot to relieve the congestion downtown. City Solicitor [[KINTZINGER, John W.\|John W. KINTZINGER]] was to look into the legal aspects of such a plan.
