PLAYGROUND REPORT 
Cincinnati, O., October 11, 1911. 
To the Honorable Board of Park Commissioners: 
Gentlemen — I herewith submit for your consideration a 
report of the work and attendance on the playgrounds during 
the -season of 1911. 
Total attendance from May 15 to September 30 was as 
follows : 
Inwood Park 132,799 
SiNTON Park 136,360 
Hanna Playground 75,320 
Lytle Park 38,435 
Pearl Street Playground 29,270 
Woodward Park 23,065 
The increased patronage proves conclusively the popularity 
of playgrounds in our city. The success of any playground, 
however, depends to a greater part, upon the supervision and 
proper management of the same. Without energetic supervision 
the playground would soon be in possession of the professional 
loafer. With the proper management they become a source of 
distinct benefit. 
The results of this season's work have fully justified the 
wisdom of the appointment of the young men and women em-
