Abstract

With the coming of the machine age, the need of adequate playground and recreation areas in large cities is steadily increasing. During the past ten years, or more, congested cities have found it necessary to supply at any cost, playground and. recreation areas, for their people, who from year to year find that they have more and more leisure time at their disposal. In an unlimited number of instances the only way this could be secured was by buying valuable land, wrecking the buildings thereon, and thus provide open spaces for recreation at an enormous cost to the city. Had the founders or pioneers of these cities foreseen this need, they could have set aside land for this purpose while the land was still comparably cheap.
