The selection of properties as to size and location has been admirably 

 planned. The system comprises 17 properties exclusive of the 37 miles of 

 boulevard driveways. These properties include six large parks of 48.5, 60, 

 100, 100.8 and 240 acres, respectively, distributed at strategic points both 

 within and without the city limits; five neighborhood playfield-parks com- 

 prising 5, 5, 8.1, 10, and 14 acres, respectively; six neighborhood squares, 

 each 2.5 acres. The courthouse square of 2.5 acres adds a seventh to the 

 list of neighborhood parks. In addition to the park area there are ten 

 school sites comprising 13.85 gross acres.
