The landscape treatment of parks. 



Parks are tracts of considerable size set apart, pri- 

 marily for enjoyment. Originally, in England, a park 

 was a place for the preservation of deer for the chase, 

 hence tht^ word is often used to denote the landscape 

 character commonly associated with such deer parks, 

 which during the eighteenth century came to be man- 

 aged much more for the sake of their landscape beauty 

 than for doer-hunting. As a type of landscape, the deer 

 park is characterized by comparatively broad stretches 

 of pasture ly'Tig between irregularly and rather widely 

 spaced massct-, of tree foliage. It is extremely simple 

 and quiet in character, and while it often contains 

 many other elements, such as ponds or nmning water, 

 thickets of bushes under the trees or occasionally out- 

 standing, or artificiid structures such as drives, bridges 

 or appropriate bviiltlings, these features are all subordi- 

 nate if the sc(^'ne can be called typically park-like. 



Private parks attached to country houses, in America, 

 are usually so called because they have, or are intended 



to have, something of this park-like type of scenery 

 (Figs. 209S-2102). A place departing very widely from 

 this type is called, according to its character, a wood 

 or grove, a garden, a farm, or more vaguely by the gen- 

 eral term of country-place. 



Public parks. 



Public parks (Figs. 2097-2102) are so called, not 

 because their scenery is necessarily of the type prop- 

 erly associated with the word "park," but because the

Royal Parks were open to the pt'oijle of English cities 

 at the time when they began to feel the need of making 

 muniripal provision for the outdoor recreation of their 

 growing populations. The earlie.st important pleasure- 

 ground.s created by cities having b>>en modeled after 

 these Royal Parks were themselves called parks, and 

 the term was gradually extended to ajiply to almost 

 any tract of land set apart for public enjoyment, 

 regardless of the kind of enjoyment or the character 

 of its scenery. But the best usage appears to confine 

 the meaning of public park to a tract of considerable
