STATE PARKS 
completely the title and management rests with the public the 
better. 
Equipment 
The equipment on 
these neighborhood parks. 
ought to be simple and 
definitely adapted to well 
settled uses. Thus if base- 
ball is the favorite local 
sport, a diamond and 
bleachers will be provided. 
If the retired farmers want 
to play golf (which is cer- 
tainly better than whittling 
drygoods boxes and cursing 
the administration), the 
necessary putting greens, 
fairways and other para- 
phernalia may be supplied. 
If chataquas or similar 
meetings are to be frequent 
an assembly hall may be 
built or an outdoor theater. 
If dances are the popular 
entertainment a good floor 
is the chief necessity. If 
camping is undertaken 
there will need to be safe 
campfires built and proper attention given to water supply and 
sanitation. If swimming is customary, dressing rooms should be 
built. Parking space for automobiles will be a necessity in any 
case.
