AccessibilityThe playground was formerly known as Sheridan Playground for the school’s namesake, General Philip Henry Sheridan (1831-1888), but was renamed Rienzi Playground, after Sheridan’s trusty steed. When his troops were surprised by a counterattack at Cedar Creek in 1864, Sheridan mounted his horse Rienzi and made his famous twenty-mile ride to the battlefield to rally his men to victory.
