PARKS 



There are four sets of toilets for bathers and spectators, providing thirteen 

 toilets, eight urinals, six lavatories. An office and first-aid room are also 

 provided. The lighting system consists of four i,ooo-watt lights over the 

 pool, nineteen 2OO-watt lights on the railing standards for lighting the con- 

 crete floor, and thirty-one loo-watt and sixty 6o-watt lights for lighting the 

 bathhouse. The entire cost of this structure including engineering fees is 

 practically $70,000. The plan of this type of pool has been patented by 

 Wesley Bintz of Lansing, Michigan. 



Plate 1 66 illustrates a type of pool found in many parks, especially where 

 large numbers of bathers must be accommodated. Sometimes circular pools 

 are constructed. In this type of pool the deep water is in the center and 

 most of the area can be used by non-swimmers. For the most effective use 

 the minimum depth should not be less than fifteen to eighteen inches. An 

 illustration and description of the mammoth swimming pool in Fleishhacker 

 Playfield, San Francisco, will be found in Chapter IV, page 146.
