GENERAL PLAN OF OHIO AVENUE PLAYGROUND, EXTENSION DEPARTMENT, 

 BOARD OF EDUCATION, MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN 



This plan illustrates the possibilities of creating a parkiike effect in a school playground of nearly 3.5 acres. 

 The boys and girls are completely separated; the two sections providing for each are separated by the facilities 

 used in common, such as wading pool, shelter house and tennis courts. Practically the same equipment and game 

 areas are provided in the boys' and girls' sections, each of which apparently serves children of a wide range of ages. 

 Although this is typical of many school playgrounds, it does not provide special play areas for the various age 

 groups referred to earlier in the chapter.
