Fishing. 



In some parks fishing is permitted. In New Orleans, Louisiana, city 

 park fishing is permitted in season on payment of fifty cents per rod for the 

 privilege of six hours of fishing. Only one hook is allowed on the lines used 

 in casting. Anyone desiring to fish must secure a ticket at the boathouse. 



Camping. 



Another activity with which park departments are becoming increas- 

 ingly concerned is camping. Starting with the provision of fireplaces and facil- 

 ities where people coming to the park may cook meals, the camping idea has 

 progressed through the overnight camp and intown camp, to the full-time 

 summer camp, largely for the family, in which people pay their way and are 

 able to secure outings at minimum cost. The following schedule from a 

 California city shows how inexpensively this is being done. 



COST FOR THIRTEEN-DAY OUTING 



Adult 



Board and lodging $15.00 



Transportation i i.oo 



Total $26.00 $24.50 $17.50 $15.50 $8.00 $3.00 



Children under 12 years half fare. 



To obtain these rates the minimum number in attendance cannot be 

 less than one hundred and fifty. Two hundred and fifty, however, is believed 

 to be the maximum size such a camp should reach if it is to maintain a 

 feeling of friendliness and cooperation.
