Hon. Board of Park Commissioners: 
Wm. Hodgkinson, Secretary. 
Gentlemen: 
The following is a final report of the playground season beginning 
June 1 and ending September 15, 1914: 
The above figures give you the approximate attendance of the 
number of people who made use of the facilities. 
Supervised play was conducted on seventeen playgrounds. 
Perhaps the most noteworthy event of the playground season was 
the playground outing at Mt. Echo Park on September 1, 1914. A 
great object lesson given through the medium of this outmg will no 
doubt leave a lasting impression on the minds of the future citizens 
of our city. 
Safe and Sane Fourth of July celebrations were conducted on all 
the playgrounds and it was estimated that from fifteen to twenty 
thousand people took part. The children received ice cream and 
peanuts. Athletic contests were held and prizes given to the winners. 
Prominent citizens spoke at the various playgrounds. Not a single 
accident marred this national holiday. 
The lawn fetes given at the different playgrounds were all largely 
attended and seemed to bring about a co-operative attitude amongst 
parents and children. The following report will give details regarding 
the financial results also a list of names of mothers who are acting 
in the capacity as trustees of the money, and the name of the bank 
where the money is deposited.
