PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS.


At the present time there are nineteen separate parcels of land located in all parts of Somerville, used for parks and play- grounds, amounting to 70.4 acres, and also a boulevard about one and one-third miles in length maintained by the city. In- cluded in this total area are playgrounds where the land is owned by private parties and leased to the city, for use, in the following localities : On Fellsway east, 2.5 acres; Knowlton street, 1.5 acres ; and the cemetery lot, .7 acre.


Four of the larger pleasure parks, namely, Central Hill, Prospect Hill, Powder House park, and Broadway park, are beautifully-laid-out spots in a thickly-settled city, and famous for what they represent historically.


At the present time there are eight baseball "diamonds" and three football fields in use and under the city's supervision, as well as numerous smaller playgrounds, on which are located an outdoor gymnasium, running tracks, tennis courts, and vari- ous kinds of athletic apparatus for recreation and rest, where children can play and enjoy themselves and are safe from the dangers of a thickly-settled city.


This area of parks and playgrounds compares favorably with other cities, Somerville being very small in area and the most densely populated city in the state, averaging about 18,500 in population to a square mile.


The larger areas have been policed by regular officers from the police department, when required, the expense being paid from the police appropriation; trees and shrubs added to the various grounds, and bulbs, plants, and flowers furnished in their seasons, and during the winter time ponds flooded for skating when the weather was favorable, and a hockey rink maintained.


Several fields have been maintained for ball playing, and are constantly in use by the many athletic teams, the games being arranged for and regularly scheduled on the various grounds throughout the season, about three hundred games being provided for by schedule the past year.


Broadway and Lincoln parks have field houses constructed of concrete, with red-tiled roofs; are heated, lighted, and equipped with toilet rooms, etc., and on several of the play- fields similar buildings should be erected in place of some of the old wooden structures. Additional apparatus should be erected on some of the principal parks and playgrounds for the smaller children's pleasure, where a regular park employee can have the care of the same. Some of the smaller playground areas


333


CITY ENGINEER.


should be enclosed by wire fencing for the protection of chil- dren.


At the westerly end of Lincoln park, a wading pool having an area of not over 3,000 square feet could be constructed, with a concrete bottom and side walls, at a small cost. £


This would be a source of much enjoyment to a very large number of children in the immediate vicinity, and maintained exclu- sively for their use.


In certain localities of the city well-lighted playgrounds, during the summer evenings, should be maintained for the young men and women working in the factories daily.


The city has become so densely populated that portions of some of the larger 'park areas should be utilized for public rec- reation and physical training purposes : Broadway park (north- erly end), ball field and children's playground; Central Hill park, tennis courts and children's playground; Tufts park, chil- dren's playground, gymnastic apparatus, etc.


The Playgrounds Association has continued its good work in the city, and funds contributed by citizens and a sum of $1,600 appropriated by the city for the special equipment of grounds and supervision of playfields during the summer months has been expended under the direction of the school committee.


Certain areas were used in the city's parks, playgrounds, and schoolyards, which had been equipped with swings, sand boxes, and various kinds of gymnastic apparatus, and instruc- tors were employed during the months of July and August. Many children enjoyed themselves at these outdoor kindergar- ten schools, while the larger boys were instructed in baseball, basket ball, and other games, and in the use of gymnastic appa- ratus, teams being formed and athletic competitions held be- tween the various teams.


Probably better results, in this city, could be obtained by establishing a system with a permanent director of athletics and gymnastics to have charge and instruct in every form of ath- letics and recreation, including all sports and games for the high schools, grammar schools, and all others using the city's playfields and buildings.


During the past year the city's lease expired whereby an area of land owned by the trustees of Tufts College has been used as an enclosed athletic field for the last ten years. The city was fortunate in obtaining, permanently, from the Metro- politan Park Commission a large tract of land, which has been named "The Somerville Field," located in the northwesterly part of the city, bordered by Powder House boulevard and Ale- wife brook.


About 5.5 acres have been laid out and graded for playing baseball and football, and a reinforced grand stand constructed,

with a seating capacity of about 4,500 persons, the total expen- diture being as follows :-

An unusually heavy foundation had to be constructed for this grand stand, on account of the location being in the old channel of the brook, the course of which has been changed about 300 feet westerly, and adding materially to the cost of the work.


At the dedication of this new field, where teams represent- ing the high schools of Somerville and Brockton played a foot- ball game, more than 10,000 people were within the enclosure, and at the Thanksgiving day game 12,000 people attended.


335


CITY ENGINEER.


The net proceeds from the high school games, above all expenditures, for the football season of 1911 amounted to about $2,500.


If this area is laid out and completed as designed, Somer- ville will have the finest recreation field owned by any city, and would include areas for baseball, football, basket ball, tennis, croquet, playfield for children, outdoor gymnasium, running track, swimming pool, and boating and skating on the brook, a concrete grand stand and field houses, equipped with shower baths, lavatories, dressing rooms, lockers, etc. In the 1910 re- port a plan was published showing the proposed laying-out.


An area owned by the city, and known as the Collins and Ham ledge property, located on Clarendon Hill, near the Cam- bridge boundary line, might be developed in the future into a pretty pleasure park, similar in nature to the Powder House park; also, the Holland-street ledge property, owned by the city, and situated in West Somerville, could be developed in the future by laying out a portion of the area for streets and house lots, and the remainder used for a children's playground.


There are a number of vacant lots in the city, owned by private parties, large enough for the purpose of establishing recreation grounds and breathing spaces, which undoubtedly could be obtained for short-term leases by payment of the taxes to the owner of the property, and be of great benefit to a large number in the congested parts of the city.


With all these various parcels of land referred to properly developed in the future as parks, playgrounds, and resting places, the city will be amply provided for in this line, and sec- ond to none in the state.


The city's assessment for Metropolitan parks and boule- vards for the year 1911 amounted to $19,300.23 on construction account, $18,497.03 being the proportional cost for maintaining the same; in addition to this, the city's special assessment for the Charles River Basin amounted to $13,049.66 on construc- tion account and $2,581.74 for maintenance; for the improve- ment of Alewife brook, $901.67, and for the maintenance of Wellington bridge across Mystic river, $813.98.


The total of the above assessments amounts to $55,144.31, being Somerville's proportional payment to the state on ac- count of the Metropolitan park system for the year 1911.


The total assessment paid to the state for parks and boule- vards amounts to $363,575.44 January 1, 1912, and the only length of state boulevard at present constructed in this city consists of seven-tenths of a mile of double roadway, located in the easterly part of the city, and extending between Broad- way and Mystic river, and four-tenths of a mile bordering Mystic river at the West Medford line.


In the 1910 report a table was published showing the area,

The old enclosed athletic field located on land owned by Tufts College and leased to the city for a period of ten years was abandoned by the city July 1, 1911, according to the terms of the lease.
