Parks in Carr Square
DeSoto Park
To provide for the recreational needs of the many families residing in the Pruitt, Igoe and Vaughn housing projects, the City acquired the site for a new DeSoto Park in 1952. This Park replaced the smaller DeSoto Playground that was swallowed up by the housing development.
Interco Plaza
The park is really just a concrete and paver surfaces in a varied pattern with patches of grass and a few trees. There are cool looking stone benches and a monument dedicated to local politicians.
Loretta Hall Park
Presented to the City in August, 1842 by William C. Carr, with the stipulation that it was "to be forever used as a square" It was later enclosed with a high iron fence at the request of the citizens of the neighborhood.
