Annual Report 
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF 
PLAYGROUNDS 
Cincinnati, O., November 16, 1910. 
To the Honorable Board of Park Commissioners: 
Gentlemen — I herewith submit my report of the playground 
activities for the summer season of 1910, and also enclose a 
list of recommendations for your kind consideration. 
The attendance during June, July, August, September and 
October was as follows : 
Inwood Park 152,136 
Sinton Park 93,755 
Lytle Park 43,299 
Hanna Park 30,429 
Pearl Street Park 29,214 
Woodward Park 23,130 
Total attendance for season of 1910 371,964 
The method used in ascertaining the attendance is to count 
the actual number of persons present at each session, the total 
being taken as the attendance for the day. 
The total expenditures of this department were as follows : 
Salary for eleven playground directors 2,150 78 
For playground apparatus (basket, playground^ and 
volley balls, nets, bats, etc) 107 08 
Total $2,257 86 
The classification of a playground can best be stated as a 
rallying place for boys and girls — a place that affords oppor- 
tunity and an outlet of all play instinct.
