Lake Minnetonka with its water area 
of 30 square miles, its 110 miles of 
wooded and open shores and background 
of rolling land, its numberless bays, nar- 
rows and islands, is the most picturesque 
of the thousands of named lakes of the 
state of Minnesota. It is one great 
park, attractive and fascinating from 
every point of view. To visit Minne- 
apolis without seeing Lake Minnetonka 
would be treason. 
The park board and different organi- 
zations of the convention citv will act 
as hosts of the society, providing for the 
entire entertainment herein outlined. 
The morning trains from all directions 
arrive between 8 and 9, and the evening 
trains leave between 8 and 9, so that it 
will be possible for all members coming 
to the convention to attend the program 
from beginning tto end. The West Hotel, 
selected as headquarters, is a first class 
hotel with ample accommodations. It is 
centrally located, within 10 blocks of all 
the railroad stations and 5 minutes’ 
walk from the city hall. 
It was originally intended to make 
this convention a Twin City affair, but 
the St. Paul authorities withdrew and 
may extend a separate invitation to visit 
their park system. For that purpose the 
4th day of the program as originally 
mapped out would be available. 
The officers of the A. A. P. S. and the 
Minneapolis people urge that this con- 
vention be well attended. The fact that 
the convention city is about half way 
between the two coasts should be an in- 
ducement to all park superintendents and 
other officers of park administration, to 
meet for deliberation, study and ad- 
vancement in park development and 
maintenance in all their many branches. 
The committee wants the easterners to 
come and see the possibilities of the 
Northwest, and want the westerners to 
meet the easterners, join the association, 
and help the good work mapped out by 
this national association. 
Therefore, get ready for Minneapolis, 
the city that “makes good.”
