PLATE No. 38 



PLAN OF GREEN BRIER PARK, RIVER PARK DISTRICT, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 

 (Design by Jacob L. Crane, Jr., Chicago.) 



A good design of a rectangular area of approximately three and one-third acres for use as a children's play- 

 ground. Entire area screened by a border plantation approximately 10 feet wide. Play areas for boys and girls 

 separated by plantations and by facilities which will be used in common. Apparatus is located around edges of 

 play areas, thus reserving maximum area for active games. 



It might have been desirable in the boys' area to provide for a playground ball diamond, perhaps in the south- 

 east corner, placing the gymnastic apparatus at the north end of the area. In practice the little boys and girls 

 generally use the same area, and not separate areas as this design appears to provide.
