Gatemen’s shelter houses should ultimately be placed at 
all the entrances. 
3. Borders. 
We advocate the ultimate construction of a stone wall 
around the entire tract, except along the southern boundary, 
where the land adjoins the rest of Bronx Park, with suitable 
posts and pillars at the entrances. The character of this wall 
should be rough, and it may be partly built of material taken 
from several different ledges and from the loose stones which 
are abundant in certain parts of the park. At the entrances 
themselves this construction should be somewhat more formal, 
and the posts or pillars should be of cut stone. The height of 
this wall should not exceed five feet. The border plantations 
should effect in great part a screening of the tract from the 
surrounding region, leaving points of view from without, care- 
fully selected with regard to the surroundings. These border 
plantations would thus, for the most part, be formed of rather 
high growing trees, flanked on the inner side by shrubbery 
suitably grouped, and their average width, when complete, 
should not be less than fifty or sixty feet. The southern bor- 
der, from the Southern Boulevard to the Bear Swamp road, 
along which the Garden land abuts against the other land of 
Bronx Park, should be excepted from this treatment, and the 
Park and Garden land allowed to blend. 
4. Driveways. 
The general system of driveways for the portion of the 
Garden lying west of the Bronx was planned by the late Cal- 
vert Vaux, shortly before the sad accident which caused his 
death. We have carefully studied this proposed system and 
have found no reason to differ from it essentially, except on 
one line which we have moved about three hundred feet to the 
north to effect a better connection with the driveway system 
east of the Bronx, which Mr. Vaux did not study, than his 
original suggestion would have accomplished. To this plan
