300 FIRST COUNTY PARK SYSTEM 
When it is remembered that the public parks of to-day 
have all had their inception and development within the 
past fifty years, what is in store for the future and for 
the coming generations of the rapidly growing population 
of this country, with the proper care and management of 
the parks, it is difficult now to predict. 
When the Essex County parks shall provide the greatest 
beneficent opportunities possible, concurrently with their 
aesthetical adornment, they will best serve the purpose for 
which they have been created.
