George Araujo Park
History
This park was named after well-loved community leader, George Araujo. George was a Cape Verdean from Fox Point and lightweight professional boxer from 1948-1958. The park stands on the lot of the former Ives St. Elementary School and retains the historic stone retaining wall. It now contains ample shade thanks to significant mature trees. The lot was originally deeded to the City in 1897.
