Park Engineer's Report

Considerable work was also done in the way of cleaning up brush 
and fallen timber. We are at this time removing some of the dead 
trees. 
PLEASANT RIDGE FIELD. 
Grading on this property to the amount of 2,934 cubic yards was 
done during the year, this Department paying the sum of $399.98. 
The remainder of the cost was borne by the Pleasant Ridge Welfare 
Association. 
This Association also constructed two single tennis courts, the 
backstops for which were set by this Department, we furnishing the 
iron pipe and labor, the Welfare Association furnishing the other 
material; they also furnished the material and paid for the erection 
of the backstop on the ball diamond. 
RIVERSIDE FIELD. 
During the year this field was graded, a ballground laid out and 
a backstop erected, the amount of grading being 2,499.8 cubic yards. 
The property as graded is large enough for two ball diamonds. 
The river bank is shaded and would make an ideal place for camps, 
should the Board have an occasion to allow it to be used for that 
purpose. 
SCHUETZENBUCKEL PARK. 
The ballground was regraded, a backstop erected, and the entire 
property cleared of brush, old logs and other rubbish. 
The people of the neighborhood constructed a tennis court, the 
expense of which was borne by the Tennis Club of that vicinity. 
TURKEY RIDGE PLAYGROUND. 
Through Mr. John J. Wenner, two election booths were secured 
and were used for shelter purposes and toilet facilities. 
Water service and sewer connection have been installed and a 
bubbling drinking fountain placed on the playgrounds. 
During the fall considerable tree planting was done on this 
property. 
WASHINGTON PARK. 
About 90 feet of the north end of the property has been used for 
the purpose of establishing a playground upon which a shelter building 
and wading pools have been constructed. A 12-foot cement walk from 
Race to Elm Street forms the southern boundary line of the play- 
ground and also furnishes better facilities for people wishing to go to 
Music Hall from the Race Street side of this property, as it is a 
direct line across the park and into one of the main entrances of 
Music Hall.
