Today's Agassiz Park was originally a pasture for livestock and later a baseball field. In the early 1920s, Rudolph Agassiz hired well-known Cambridge, Massachusetts, landscape architect Warren H. Manning to design a park dedicated to his father and former C&H President, Alexander Agassiz. The full design was never realized, and today, a modern housing addition has encroached on the park's west end.
