INWOOD PARK. 
An addition was made to the shelter building, and a cement walk

Additions were made to the shrubbery and tree plantings. 
Some minor changes were made in the walks and a new walk

KENNEDY HEIGHTS.

of a small park at Kennedy Heights, a rather rough and rugged piece 
of ground, for which no plan of development has been made. 
KROGER HILLS. 
Formerly known as Bamford Hills, a gift of Mr. B. H. Kroger, 
comprising some 82 acres. 
This property last year, through the courtesy of the Board of 
Park Commissioners, was used by the Anti-Tuberculosis League as a 
camp for anemic children, a most worthy charity which deserves a 
special report of its own. It can, however, only be mentioned here. 
The only work on the property by this Department was painting 
the roofs of some of the buildings.
