PLATE No. 48. SKETCH PLAN SHOWING TYPICAL DEVELOPMENT FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD 



PLAYFIELD-PARK AND MODERN SCHOOL PLAYGROUND 

 (Design by L. D. Tilton, of Harland Bartholomew and Associates, St. Louis, Missouri.) 



This plan is distinguished by the wide range of provisions made for diverse types of recreation, children's play- 

 ground, open areas for playing highly organized games, areas for archery, tennis, horseshoes and other minor sports, 

 music concourse, field house and refectory, outdoor theatre, picnic grove, and ample opportunity for rest and 

 enjoyment of natural beauty. The section indicated as "A Modern School Playground" is laid out according to 

 a plan recommended by Bartholomew and Associates for school play areas. 



As a general rule, however, it is not desirable to have a major roadway running through a park-playfield 

 of this type. It is especially objectionable if it passes close to the outdoor theatre.
