The parks in the Center, North Wilbraham and Glendale were maintained as in previous years with the addition of the Triangle near the underpass.
All the parks were seeded and top dressed and a new lawn mower purchased for use in Glendale.
The hurricane of September felled many of the fine trees located in the Parks but in co-operation with the W. P. A. they have all been cleared away.
