strive to preserve, the natural attractions of Braintree throughout its sections of industry, business and homes. The Tree Warden ha's'a splendid opportunity to serve the Town in this matter.
We wish to thank all the officials, citizens and or- ganizations who have so kindly co-operated with our work this year. We desire to pay a special tribute of thanks to those members of the Boy Scouts who worked so devotedly in helping us to notify the citizens regard- ing the local zoning meetings. Sometimes this was done in bitter cold weather that would have tested to the utmost the civic spirit of any adult.

REPORT OF BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS, BRAINTREE, MASS.
Parks and Recreation
The season of 1926 was one of the best ever held, at all of the playgrounds in town. This being the first year that the project has been under the supervision of the town. Previous a group of women had charge of the various playgrounds known as supervised play. They having installed a number of playground appa- ratus at all of the parks. These were presented to the town to be used under the supervision of the Park Board. A special appropriation was made at the an- nual town meeting, and the work carried out at the playgrounds by special instructors with a supervisor in charge. At all of the playgrounds there were large attendance of children.
The average attendance at the various parks were French's Common, South Braintree 500
Hollis playground, Braintree 300
Watson plagrouynd, East Braintree 400
The work carried on at these every day were on a schedule. There were games, sewing and folk dances. At the close of the season there was a dis- play of the work done at the various playgrounds on French's Common and those that had the pleasure to attend were much surprised at the wrok done by the girls from each part of the town. Prizes were do- nated by local merchants and were awarded for the best work. It is the intention of the Park Commis- · sioners to make the season of 1927 a banner year for the children of the town.

All of the various playgrounds have been kept in excellent condition during the season. All were well patronized. Various sports were conducted all Sum- mer and well into the Fall.
French's Common, South Braintree.
The grounds have been mowed each week. The grove was raked and cleaned each week after the childrens play. Two horse shoe boxes were installed. The band stand wired for electric lights. A tennis court was lined out on the playing field and was played continually. In the upper field a new court has been installed and will be ready for play early in the Summer. Sand boxes and playground apparatus were in constant use all the season. One of the best im- provements for years was the purchasing of the Leath- erbee lot. This opens up a new entrance from Tre- mont Street, for nearly 400 residents of that district. French's Common now extends from Washington St. right through to Tremont St. New Bleachers have been erected on the playing field. A large piece has been taken from Washington Street and the arch way moved to the centre of the park entrance. Several decayed trees were removed, and the upper part of the grove plowed and levelled.
Hollingsworth Park, South Braintree.
This park has been raked and mowed and put in fine condition for various kind of sports.
Hollis Playground, Braintree.
There has been a lot of filling and grading in Hollis Field this year. The Hollis Field Association has spent $1,800.00, grading the upper part of the field. It now needs to be loamed and seeded, to com- plete it.
174
The Park Department has turned over to the Board of Health, the lower part of the field, to be used as a dumping place for ashes and other good material. The grounds have been mowed and kept clean, sand boxes filled, and extra space set apart for the small children. There was a good attendance of children during the summer months, under the Or- ganized Playground Supervision.
East Braintree Water Front Playground
This playground, the only one on the Salt Water front owned by the town was kept in excellent condi- tion all season. A new base ball back stop 20x60 ft. was installed. The playing field mowed and raked each week. The tennis court resurfaced and each end put in shape for coming season. Where there was continued play all the season, Playground apparatus was kept in repair. Sand boxes filled and great in- terest was shown by the parents of this district rela- tive to the playground movement. Thel large building on the property has been kept in excellent condition. A skating rink was installed by the board of Park Commissioners, and was much enjoyed by the younger folks of this section of the town.
The Small Playground on Commercial St.
Was kept in fairly good shape and games were played here all the season. This grounds being rather small for base ball it was used mostly by children.

LAWRENCE A, TRAINOR, Chairman, JOHHN N. ROGERS, Treasurer, ALBERT F. HOLLIS, Secretary, Board of Park Commissioners.
