LINCOLN PARK AND PLAYGROUNDS 
The continual wash of the larger lake in this park had left the 
banks in unsightly condition. This was remedied by placing a 
boulder revetment, bedded in concrete, around the shores of lake 
and island. 
The walks of the entire park were remade. Cement walks were 
placed on the Kenner and Hopkins street sides and the sidewalk 
on Freeman avenue repaired. Stone fence curbs were reset, and 
the entrances to the park widened. 
The corner of the park at Hopkins and President place was 
regraded, preparatory to making a double playground. The soil 
removed was used for filling the smaller lake, which has since been 
turned into a sunken garden. 
Much grading, surfacing and resodding were done. 
LYTLE PARK AND PLAYGROUND 
A combination music pavilion and comfort station was erected 
between the park and playground at Lytle Park. 
M'KINLEY PARK AND PLAYGROUND 
The shelter house with ample shades and a wading pool, was 
placed in use early in the playground season and two drinking 
fountains installed. 
A concrete block wall was erected around three sides of the 
park and a considerable amount of cement walk laid. 
Sand pits were placed at either end of the shades, and two lines 
of playground paraphernalia installed. 
MADISON PARK 
On this property, completed by recent purchase, some grading 
was done and the banks on Erie Avenue and Madison road were 
improved by lengthening the slopes. 
MOHAWK PLAYGROUND 
The old buildings on this property have been wrecked, and 
the ground partially prepared for the erection of a shelter house. 
MT. STORM PARK 
A tanbark walk about 1,780 feet in length was constructed, 
leading from Ludlow avenue, near the canal, up to the old Bowler 
homestead on this property, giving a direct connection from the 
car line on Ludlow avenue to the park. A drinking fountain and 
toilet facilities were installed.
