BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS
ARLINGTON, MASS., January 1, 1911.
The Park Commissioners respectfully submit the following report :
A contract for the care of parks under our jurisdiction was let, as was the case last year. This included the entrance to Menotomy Rocks Park and the Medford Street triangles.
The flower beds at the first-named location showed unusual care. At Russell Park borders were laid along the walks and bare places reseeded. It is hoped this will take well in the spring and relieve this park of its usual bare appearance. Several trees have been set out along the walk on the southerly side of this park. As most of the baseball games will be played at Spy Pond field in the future, the grass will have a better opportunity to grow.
The usual filling has been done at Meadow Brook Park and the dump leveled off. The bridge which was built by the Town about ten years ago across Sucker Brook near its inlet to Mystic Pond has been rebuilt at the expense of the Park Department.
Next year it is hoped that more trees can be planted at Menot- omy Rocks Park and the walk leading through this park can be regraded and put in better shape.
Respectfully submitted :
CHARLES H. GANNETT, WILLIAM E. LLOYD, HAROLD L. FROST, Park Commissioners.
