Within eleven miles of the State House at Boston, an area occupied by two hundred thousand 

 people less than the population of Philadelphia, there are twenty-five miles of parkways connecting 

 parks covering 15,175 acres. Philadelphia's park area is 4,062 acres; but it has begun, though only 

 begun, to improve this showing. Its opportunities are unequaled. 



In all the maps, light green shows existing, and brown proposed, parks or parkways.
