Birmingham Park Board
Studies Local Situation
Survey Of Municipal Property Being Compiled
For Possible Sites For Fairgrounds

Before it shoots from taw" the Bir-
mingham park board has decided to
take stock. The result is that G. z.
Connell, superintendent, and p. w.
Jenkins, secretary, are, for, the time
being, living the lives of abstract law
yers, surveyors, examiners and inspeA
tors.
Every park and piece of public
ground used for park or playground
purposes is being examined, its loca-
ton, date of requirement, purpose, dedi-
cation, area and all other matter is
being traced and complete record of
the property being compiled.
Before going ahead with park work,
possibly entailing extensive and ex-
pensive improvements, the board wants
to know just how much control it has
Over a particular plot of ground and If
anyone might step in and upset plans.
Several Of the parks are restricted in
one way or another, erection of build
ings forbidden, particular use outlined,
and in other ways definitely restricted.
Records Studied
Just how long the survey will take
remains to be seen, but Mr.. Connell
began with the abstracts and is going
over municipal records with each plot
as far as available records go.
The examinations being made are not
expected to have any effect on play
grounds or other present uses and the
park and playground season is expected
to start ON svchedule.
One of the first things the park work
ers did was to spread a map of Bir-
mingham on the park board office TIA
BILE and start marking in colors the
several parks and Fairgrounds. Do
ing this an interesting thing developed,

THE BIRMINGHAM AGE-HERALD SUNDAY APRIL g. 1924

birmingham has park system already
laid out for neighborhood accommoda-
ton. Taking the court house as COM
mon center, it is surrounded the map
shows, by a ring, within a quarter of a
mile radius. of city block size parks,
Woodrow Wilson, East, Underwood,
West, Magnolia and Jordan parks.
Each is some five or six blocks from
the court house and, approximately,
some six or seven blocks from each
other, literally in ring around the
court house. Beyond these are the
great parks of the city, each of which
has many acres, each several miles out
from the court house. In the outer
ring are Mineral Springs, an unnamed
40 acres, Avondale, Red Mountain,
Green Springs, McLendon and Fountain
Heights.
Beauty Spots
Dotted about the city are smaller
beauty spots" odd triangles and ovals,
strips and realty development dona-
tions that could not be used for build
ing purposes.
Beyond the second ring of large
parks, far out past the suburbs, where
the map showed undeveloped territory,
Mr.. Connell touched several areas with
his fingers and said that, maybe, some
day, there would be third ring of
parks picked out against the day and
time when Birmingham has grown much
larger than it is now, but the matter
was in the future.
In the meantime the executive staff
of the Birmingham park board is COM
piling its park data and when this is
done the complete listing will be used
to great extent in carrying out plans
Of general improvement.
