→Park history
On March 16, 1927, the Pensacola City Commission adopted an ordinance changing the name of the park from Maxent Park to American Legion Park, "as a testimonial to the grateful appreciation of the people of Pensacola of the unselfish and patriotic services of the [[Wikipedia:American Legion|American Legion]] to the community, state, and nation."
The city again rebuilt the park after voters on December 13, 1927 narrowly approved a $25,000 bond issue by a margin of just six votes.<ref>"Library Bond Issue Fails as Three Others Carry".
