12 REPORT OF THE 



oi] Park land, as wanted, in small quantities, and of which no 

 exact account was kept, besides four hundred cubic yards of 

 crushed stone. 



The cntiic West Drive, from the Entrance at Ninth 

 avenue and Fifteeentli street to the Ocean Parkway Entrance, 

 was re-made, as were also the side roads in the Valley Grove. 

 All the park roads and drives, for over twelve miles in length, 

 have lieen repaired. Plaza street, where the gravel was left 

 unfinished, owing to freezing weather, was rolled and com- 

 pleted. 



A new entrance has been made to the Work Shops on 

 Ninth avenue, and the roadway paved with Belgian blocks, 

 which will give that part of the Park a neat and orderly 

 appearance, which has heretofore been lacking. 



The entrance at Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street was 

 paved with asphalt. 



The entire system of drives (nine miles) was sprinkled by 

 Park sprinklers, which work protracted dry weather made 

 unusually difficult. Sprinkling was kept up, with the excep- 

 tion of short intervals, from March 28th until November 

 30th. 



By the use of scrapers, and by covering worn places, sleigh- 

 ing was prolonged in Prospect Park last winter long after it 

 was over on the surrounding roads, and was greatly enjoyed 

 by a large number of people. 



Eight and three-quarter miles of grass borders were kept 

 trimmed. One thousand and eight feet of cuibstone were 

 repaired and relaid.

 the west side of the, Park, bet ween the entrances at Sixteenth
