Battell Park Historic District is a historic public park and national historic district located at Mishawaka, St. Joseph County, Indiana. The district encompasses two contributing buildings, one contributing site, two contributing structures, and one contributing object in a public park. It was established in 1881, and subsequently developed with a Soldiers' War Memorial erected in 1884 and Classical Revival style bandshell erected in 1927. In 1936–1937, the Works Progress Administration added a five-tier, cascading rock garden with a waterfall, small pools, and arched bridge.{{cite web| url = https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/welcome.html| title = Indiana State Historic Architectural and Archaeological Research Database (SHAARD) | publisher = Department of Natural Resources, Division of Historic Preservation and Archaeology | format = Searchable database| accessdate = 2016-07-01}} Note: This includes {{cite web| url =https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/r/21a09/N/Battell_Park_HD_St_Joseph_CO_Nom.pdf| title = National Register of Historic Places Inventory Nomination Form: Battell Park Historic District| accessdate = 2016-07-01| author=Adrian Alcott Fine| format = PDF| date=August 1995}}, [https://secure.in.gov/apps/dnr/shaard/r/48fb9/N/Battell_Park_map.pdf site map], and Accompanying photographs
