     History
    Greenfield Park Elementary was opened in 1918 and an addition was constructed in 1921. It was attended by students from kindergarten to sixth grade. The decreasing population of the surrounding neighborhood led to a steep decline in enrollment, forcing closure of the school in 2007. Only 274 students attended Greenfield Park in 2007, down from 623 in 1998. There were also issues with plumbing and heating in the building. It has since been hit hard by all manner of vandals, scrappers and taggers.
