About Derry Park
Derry Park is a public green space associated with the elementary-school district during both the childhood and adult periods of the atlas. It is treated as a neighborhood park near Derry Elementary School and its playground, separate from Bassey Park, McCarron Park, and Memorial Park elsewhere in town. Its position provides open ground within the Jackson Street area and helps explain local routes that pass around the school and park as linked landmarks.
Why this pin is marked B
Inferred. Worked out from routes, distances and what stands next to it.
The park is marked B because the sources establish relationships rather than a street address. A sightline connects the school or playground area with Derry Park, and a later walking route circles both the park and the elementary school. These clues support proximity and make the chosen neighborhood plausible, but they do not define the park’s entrance, exact direction from the school, or legal boundary. The marker and drawn green area therefore express an inferred relationship, not a surveyed park parcel.
