LICK RUN BALLGROUNDS. 
These grounds are used principally for baseball and football play- 
ing. Some improvements were made on the fields during the past 
year, and two new backstops were erected. 
LINCOLN PARK. 
The new shelter building in this park has been finished and 
preparations have been made for the necessary regrading of the play- 
grounds. In connection with this grading, a low wall has been con- 
structed along the sidewalk adjacent to the wading pool. 
Considerable work was done in the way of shrubbery planting 
throughout the park. 
Plans and estimates were prepared for laying pipe to supply this 
park with water to flood the lake during the skating season, but owing 
to lack of funds, this work could not be executed at this time. 
LOSANTIVILLE TRIANGLE. 
Additions have been made to the shrubbery and tree plantings; 
the cosmos set out in the shru^febery beds proved an attractive feature 
of the park, being in full bloom during early fall, lasting until frost. 
A double tennis court was finished during the spring, which has 
proven a popular addition to the park. 
LUDLOW FIELD. ^ 
This property, lying on the north side of Millcreek and just south 
of Ludlow Avenue, was acquired and will be used as a ballground. 
Owing to the construction of the Millcreek sewer through these 
grounds, it was not possible to use them during the past year. How- 
ever, two ball diamonds will be made available during the coming 
season. 
MADISON PARK. 
The only new work was the construction of a single tennis court, 
some shaping of banks, seeding and sodding. 
MOHAWK AND CANAL. 
During the year a strip of ground along the bank of the canal for 
about 250 feet lying just south of the Mohawk bridge was maintained 
by the Mohawk Improvement Association. The planting and sodding 
was done by this Department. 
MT. AIRY FOREST. 
The work on this property during the past year has been largely 
that of clearing and cleaning up, removing old fences and buildings, 
which were no longer necessary.
