SHERWOOD ELEMENTRY

Sherwood was located on South 29th St, between Edmond and Charles Streets. These photos are of the lower and upper playgrounds. Sherwood was demolished in the 1990's and a small park replaced the structure. The 2 playgrounds still remain as they once were, less the ugly graffi that has been painted on the walls by some of today's children.
