BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS. BRAINTREE, MASS.
Precinct 1.
Not for years has French's Common been utilized for all kinds of sports as last season. In the Grove sand boxes were installed and filled, swings were put in place and kept in order; a horse-shoe court was installed and great interest was shown during the Summer evenings. During the foot- ball season goal posts were set up and the grounds kept in excellent condition for this popular game. Dead trees and limbs have been removed from the Grove, bleachers have been repaired and the diamond mowed and raked regularly.
At the Hollingsworth Playground minor repairs have been made on the grounds and kept in condition by a change of the grass on the property for labor of a nearby resident.
Precinct 2.
The new diamond on the Hollis Field was kept occupied almost continually. Twi-light games were played almost every evening in addition to the games of Saturday after- noons. A feature of this playground is the band concerts which are held once a week during the Summer. The grounds have been kept in good condition being mowed and raked regularly. The field is very nearly filled in and the coming season will no doubt see its completion. Sand boxes were set and filled and the children were in constant attendance enjoying them. Through the generosity of the Hollis Field Association the excellent condition of the dia- mond was made possible. The thanks of the citizens are due this association for the continual help they have been during the past years.
Precinct 3.
The two playgrounds in this precinct were kept in good condition as possible during the summer. A new back- stop was erected on the Commercial Street playground and
217
the grass mowed regularly; swings and sand-boxes were set up and kept filled much to the enjoyment of the children of the precinct.
On the Water-front playground most of the rubbish has been removed from the Quincy Avenue end, and the public rental of the boat-house has ceased. The grass was mowed. Owing to the continual loss of base-balls on the Commercial Street playground the boys were obliged to play most of their games on the diamond of this playground. During the early Fall many games of Soccer foot-ball were played which were witnessed by many citizens and visitors from neighboring towns.
