PLATE No. 37 



GENERAL PLAN FOR CHINESE PLAYGROUND, PLAYGROUND COMMISSION, 

 SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA 



This plan is a striking example of the utilization of a small uneven area (approximately^half an'acre) as a. 

 children's playground in a congested section of a city. Note that the playground is laid out on three different 

 levels, with retaining walls and stairways. It provides a variety of play areas and facilities for children of different 

 ages. The sections devoted to games are surfaced with an asphaltic material; the others with a combination of 

 tanbark and gravel. The playground is effectively planted with vines and shrubbery and the attractive_field house 

 and pergola are strictly Oriental in design and architecture.
