provides a second floor to the shelter house in that park, 
adding materially to the shade supplied for the users of the 
Inwood Park playgrounds. 
MT. AIRY FOREST 
The new work on this property consists almost entirely in 
the forestry planting handled by the Forestry Department. 
LICK RUN BALL GROUNDS 
These playgrounds were regraded and surface used for base- 
ball and football fields. The lower portion is gradually being 
filled and brought to proper surface from waste material from 
that district. 
LINCOLN PARK 
In this, preparations are being made for the erection of 
shelter buildings and completion of a children's playground at 
the western end of the property. Very considerable planting 
of trees and shrubs has been made supplementing old plantations 
on the entire property. 
MADISON PARK 
On this, the slopes on the border sidewalks have been soft- 
ened and resown and resodded, taking out also the uneven sur- 
faces within the property, thereby smoothing over the entire 
ground surface, making the whole a very much more attractive 
and usable property. Along the eastern border the low ground 
has been cleared of undergrowth and the adjoining sidewalk 
space similarly cleaned. The lower ground is in preparation 
for a possible wading pool and the remainder of the surface for a 
playground on that property. 
MT. ECHO PARK 
The entrance to this property from Elberon Avenue is cared 
for by the retaining wall and stair-way now being built. A 
roadway from this entrance to the top of the hill and the prom- 
inent viewpoints on Mt. Echo Park have been in part graded 
out, the remainder awaiting completion of the retaining wall at 
Elberon Avenue, and prospectively the \\ hole of this will be com- 
pleted in the spring of 1914.
