History
The Lincoln Center is located, currently, in W.A. Tarrow Park off of Holleman and Welborn. It was originally built as the A&M Consolidated Negro School. The facility has been used as a neighborhood center, recreation center, senior citizen's center, maintenance shop, and was formerly the headquarters for the College Station Parks and Recreation Department. The center now provides a variety of recreational and social services to the citizens of College Station, as well as an indoor gym, 1/3 mile jogging trail, and a playground. The Wayne Smith Baseball Fields are included in this park. A State Historic Site Marker is also located here for African American Education in College Station.
