This image was probably shot in 1939, when the Loring Park Shuffleboard Courts were a recently-completed WPA project.
As you can see, there was no fence at the time, so police officers were used for security. Which is good, because Lee Harvey Oswald is standing right there behind one of the players.

Are you sure that's a security guy, or is that a "shuffleboard cop," judging the close calls? Maybe you and Mark should wear uniforms with hats, too.
May have been the first guy to have said "Out by a mile!" at that site.
I feel a history theme night coming on! Retro shuffle!! Perfect for a cool September night!! Thanks Jim for the photo.
