The northerly end of Foss Park has been fenced in for playground purposes, and construction work commenced.
The city has become so densely populated (averaging nearly 25,000 people a square mile) that some of the larger park areas should be more extensively utilized for public rec- reation and physical training purposes. On several of the playfields concrete buildings should be constructed, additional apparatus and shelters provided and some of the smaller play- ground areas should be enclosed by wire fencing for protec- tion.
In certain localities of the city, well-lighted playgrounds, during the summer evenings, should be maintained for the young men and women who are obliged to work in the day time.
Previous reports are respectfully referred to for sugges- tions and recommendations for improvement of park and play-
ground areas.
In connection with the departmental work, the Welfare and Recreation Commission, the Playgrounds Association and Women's Clubs have been of great assistance in advising, di- recting and promoting the city's welfare. (Details, etc., in Commission's and Association reports.)
(See city auditor's report for total expenditure by city departments and commissions for recreation and play the past year.)
