PARK AND CEMETERY. 
us a roadway unsurpassed, at a very low 
cost for its upkeep. 
All park employees are easily distin- 
guished by a uniform and numbererd badge 
which they are required to wear. 
BOULEVARDS AND PARKWAYS. 
Denver has approximately ten miles of 
parkways, with center parking varying in 
width from 30 to 100 feet, and roadways 
and walks on either side. An automobile 
ride over these parkways and the connect- 
ing boulevards, terminating at Inspiration 
Point (a part of Berkeley Park), from 
which is revealed a most magnificent view 
of Clear Creek Valley and the mountains 
on one hand and of Denver and the plains 
on the other, is one ride our visitors must 
not miss. 
PLAYGROUNDS. 
In addition to the ten distinctive play- 
grounds already mentioned, all of the larger 
parks also have playground apparatus and 
numerous tennis courts. The playground 
apparatus used by this department is all 
constructed by our own employees, and 
consists of merry-go-rounds, outdoor gymns, 
swings, seesaws, parallel bars, slides, giant 
strides, baby swings, etc., all constructed 
of iron pipe and steel, with galvanized 
chains in place of ropes on swings, etc. 
Indoor baseball grounds, volley ball and 
basket ball courts are also provided. Thirty 
trained supervisors are employed during 
the season to look after the children’s 
welfare. 
It is, of course, possible in an article like 
this only to outline the principal features 
of our park system and to give a few fig- 
ures. We feel a pardonable pride in Den- 
ver's parks and know that those who make 
the trip to the convention will see much 
to interest them and will note some in- 
dividual features that are not to be found 
in most other park systems of the country.
