REPORT OF PARK DEPARTMENT
REPORT OF THE PARK DEPARTMENT
QUINCY, MASSACHUSETTS
March 1, 1943
TO THE HONORABLE MAYOR, CHARLES A. ROSS .
Dear Sir :-
An account of the activities and accomplishments of the Quincy Park Department is herewith presented constituting the fifty- fourth annual report since its inception.
Due to the war, the Park Department found that they would be called upon for many services to help build the morale of old and young alike.
Meetings were held with various citizen groups and representa- tives of the U. S. O. A plan of extensive recreation was carried out during the fall, winter and summer months.
In the past, it has been the custom to give a detailed report covering every phase of Park and Recreation activities with a detailed account of developments and expenditures.
We herewith present our report and recommendations in con- densed form for City Records. There will be on file at the Park Office, a full detailed report which will be available to your Honor, the City Council and the citizens of Quincy.
With respect to finances, it is gratifying to report that the budget was strictly adhered to and all plans of expenditures carried out with satisfying results and excellent progress made.
In closing the final report of this Park Board, we wish for you and the new Park Board, a very successful administration.
WILLIAM M. TRUSSELLE, Chairman
IMPROVEMENTS AND MAINTENANCE
During the past year, all Baseball Fields were put in condition during the spring months and maintained for the season. Softball fields and Football gridirons each received the same attention. The Maintenance Department under Foreman Harry Boyd, and a skilled personnel, covered every phase of our work which included grading, seeding, carpentry, landscaping, masonry, construction and forestry.
Their fine work brought many testimonials of praise from those who use the Park system. The Board takes this opportunity to thank them for a job well done.
344
CITY OF QUINCY
Several of the so-called skin-diamond flelds were treated with oil to lay the dust and proved to be a good investment.
PERMITS AND SERVICES
A full time service was maintained at the Park Board office for all who wished to use the facilities of the Park System. This was taken care of by Mrs. Gertrude McIntyre, who rendered courteous and efficient service to all who applied, in addition to her duties as typist, keeping records of all Park activities, reports, publicity and miscellaneous duties at the office.
MANAGER AND DIRECTOR
Mr. William J. Spargo, Manager and Director of Parks and Playgrounds, proved of invaluable service to the Park Board. In his years of service, he has gathered a wealth of experience which he has given to the City of Quincy, in planning Programs, laying out Parks and Plots, and keeping abreast of the times in making improvements which reacted in many ways to the users of our Park System.
The Board of Park Commissioners take this opportunity to thank him for his cooperation.
SKATING RINKS
Skating rinks and ponds were maintained and serviced at Manet Lake, Sailor's Home Pond, Stoney Brae, O'Neil Field, Wendell Moses Field, Munroe and Bishop Field.
FOOTBALL FIELDS
North Stadium, Faxon Field, O'Rourke Field, Kincaide Field, Upper Merrymount, Municipal Stadium, O'Neil Field, Munroe, LeBrecque, and Montclair, all fields equipped with goal posts and lined off for games. Steel posts at Municipal Stadium.
TENNIS COURTS
Tennis Courts all lined off and equipped with nets.
SOFTBALL FIELDS
Faxon Park, Faxon Field, Welcome Young, Munroe, Pageant Field, two diamonds, and Upper Merrymount, maintained and lined off for games.
BOWLING ON THE GREEN
Regular Custodian assigned and continuous service all through the season. Greens are in constant use.
HORSESHOE PITCHING
Interest in this popular barnyard sport was keen this year, so much so, that the Board encouraged it as one of the regular play- ground features. Competition was conducted on an inter-play- ground scale, with finals played at the end of the season.
345
REPORT OF PARK DEPARTMENT
RECREATION
During the period covered by this report, it has become in- creasingly evident that there is a widespread demand for year- round indoor and outdoor recreation. This is true not only in Quincy, but from what the Board can gather, it is general through- out the United States. In view of this situation, the larger cities must prepare to meet the demand, when W. P. A. Recreation Projects are eventually dropped by the Government, as an mer- gency measure.
A well planned system of recreation is essential to the well-being of every community. It may be purely passive, such as natural scenery, or it may include various degrees of activity, to the most intensive physical exercise, such as tennis. All forms are neces- sary to service varying public demands.
With many of our male citizens going into defense work and the armed forces, the Board was faced with the selection of a qualified supervisor for our ambitious program for the play- grounds. Through the efforts of Mr. William J. Spargo, our Manager and Director, we contacted State Civil Service and obtained permission to engage Mr. William Bowyer, a member of our Junior High School Faculty, to take over and carry out the program planned.
The appointing of Mr. Bowyer was an excellent choice. He was most cooperative and in a few meetings wih his staff of male and female instructors, he put over the finest program of activities in the term of this Park Board. Under his leadership, the per- sonnel gave everything they had and the result was an outstand- ing Field Day at the close of the Playground season.
Mr. Bowyer compiled a scrap book of all activities during the season, it will be on file at the Park Board office for all to see on application.
The following is the report of the Supervisor of Playgrounds:
PLAYGROUND REPORT
1942
If there is one opposite to idleness, it is play. Much confusion can be avoided if we remember that play has its primary applica- tion in childhood. Exercise as applied in the child's life is a mere by-product of play. This is one of the main drives of life. When we want strenuous exertion in any line of endeavor, it is essential to utilize the play desire. In later life, there are certain social relationships and standards of behavior which are best encouraged by activities on the playgrounds. Physical education and play- ground activities are primarily the same, particularly when it comes to play. The program of activities approaches the objec- tives of education and life, not alone by big muscle exercise, or in any physical standards, but by play.
Leadership is of great importance to the development of good "Social Habits." Leadership is the most important core of any

playground program, so at this time I wish to express my thanks to all the members of the Park Board and Mr. Spargo, for the fine group of Instructors and special teachers. They directed the choice of activities for the children, for intrinsic rather than ex- trinsic values. Participation in activities being promoted rather than being the spectator. They planned with the children rather than for the children. With the joy of play activities rather than mere excitement, and appealing always to their interest in activ- ities rather than for prize awards.
For the benefit of the playground Instructors, the Park Board presented the "Quincy Playground Institute," a well rounded in- structional program which I am sure helped materially in the success of our playgrounds this year.
We are indebted to the Community Recreational Service of Bos- ton for their able assistance through Mr. Siebolt H. Frieswyck, Miss Helen M. Duncey and Mrs. Clara Edwards. The Misses Harriet Dively of the National Staff of Camp Fire Girls and Elizabeth Richardson Marston of Quincy City Hospital. Messrs. Ben Hodgkinson, American Red Cross, William Morrison, William Sullivan, Robert Hamilton, Cecil Roberts, Mrs. Edwinna Robb and Mrs. Raymond H. Davis, of the Civilian Defense Council and R. Stanley Kendig of the U. S. O.
We offered this year, a group of specialized experts who visited the playgrounds every day. These experts remained on each play- ground at least one hour. This system was beneficial to both children and playground instructors. In this way, the playground instructors were able to give general supervision of the activity for the rest of the week. Along with special activities offered by the playground instructors we were able to present the following program and activities.
Athletics :
The athletic events were covered from simple team games to the more specialized forms.
Small children's activities
Special attention was given to simple ring games, singing games, sandbox supervision, etc.
Story-Telling
Summer offers a wonderful opportunity for story-telling due to the excessive heat. Many mothers attended with their smaller children. The person to handle this activity must be a born story- teller and in Miss Katherine Zottoli and Miss Lillian Russell, these qualifications were satisfied.
Handcraft
This type of activity offers an almost unlimited range. Placing special emphasis on making things which are related to play and life in the open.
Weaving
Was handled by Mrs. Doris Ryder, covered the making of pot- holders, pocketbooks and mats of different sizes.
347
REPORT OF PARK DEPARTMENT
Handwork
Was conducted by Mrs. Catherine Healey and devoted to em- broidery, afghan work, crayon work, curtain pulls, etc.
Novelties
Mr. Arthur Turner-Lanyards, Bird Houses, Airplane modeling, windmills, copper figures, aluminum trays and bowls, name shields and paper craft.
