PARK DEPARTMENT
The large stones around the Ballardvale Playstead to prevent automobiles from crossing the field were lined up and embedded in the ground, greatly enhancing the appearance of the Play- stead. This work, with the exception of supervision, was done by welfare labor.
A new piece of playground equipment called a "Bob-Swing" was set up at the Ballardvale Playgrounds.
A section of the baseball field at the Andover Playstead which was in a rough condition was plowed, filled with loam and graded.
Planks were installed at the three playsteads for croquet areas and at the Central Playstead, the horseshoe boxes were repaired.
The skinned area of the baseball field at the Andover Playstead was filled with marl and will be graded and rolled next spring.
All the playground apparatus was painted preparatory to erection by welfare labor.
The benches in front of the Barnard property were repaired.
The old Smith & Dove Field was prepared so that soccer could be played.
Because of a complaint about papers being thrown in the Park near the northeast corner, a rubbish can was placed near the bench located at this spot.
The paint was burned off the gun in the Park and one coat of aluminum and two coats of olive drab paint were applied.
A section of the lawn at the Pumping Station rutted by heavy traffic has been regraded.
To provide for adequate Park Maintenance for 1940, we recom- mend an appropriation of $4,600.00, to be divided substantially as follows:
