'''Kupfrian's Park''' was a recreational area in 19th and 20th century Pensacola develloped by [[Conrad Kupfrian]].
Kupfrian's Park was roughly bordered by the following modern-day streets: North [[Pace Boulevard]] to the west, West [[Avery Street]] to the north, North [[J Street]] to the east, and West [[Blount Street]] to the south.
