Book Description

Excerpt from Public Provision for Recreation This report on Public Provision for Recreation is one of the seven sections of the report of the Recreation Survey of Cleveland conducted under the auspices of the Cleveland Foundation. Copies of the reports may be obtained from the Cleveland Foundation. A complete list with prices will be found in the back of this volume. The general plan of this volume and the standards of space measurements for playground purposes were worked out by Mr. Rowland Haynes. The arrangement of the material and the actual writing of the volume were done by Mr. Stanley P. Davies. In the course of the preparation of the material each playground and community center was examined from the standpoint of a practical administrator by Mr. Harold Berg, who prepared, upon the basis of his investigations, the suggestions for further development of these agencies. The maps shown in this volume, with the exception of the one showing the work of the Public Library, were drawn by Mr. E. A. Ruggles, of the Cleveland Museum of Art. The Survey is indebted to Miss Linda A. Eastman and the Staff of the Cleveland Public Library for assistance in preparing Chapter VIII.
