mlssioners to maintain 1t as such.
 "Willow Brook park might well be termed the athletic park, as it is here that most all kinds of games eventually will be provided for. Stanley Quarter park, our na- tural park, and one in which is to be stressed the amusement of the public. We plan to have a dance floor, suitable skating shed for winter, a merry -go-round, and other similar pleasure giving devices, and all to be properly administered and supervised. Small Parks Until July 1921 were under the care of the board of public works and since that time have been a part of our department.
 Records show dates of acquisi- tion of any history in connection with them are pretty meager, but suffice 1t Is to say they are all triangular in shape and lie at street intersections.
 Central park located on Main street was the village green in colo nial times. In 1900 soldiers monu- ment was erected in it's center and some say only for this new city hall would now occupy this park. At the south end only a few years L 3,, y,1o l n.y. ground a modern comfort station.
 Periodically someone wants to take away a corner or portion of this park but public sentiment prevents it.
 Franklin Square park originally known as south park and located at Franklin square, consisted largely of q rock ledge which In recent years has been removed. The Burrtt Me morial was erected during the late south end and directly faces the high school. MT. Burritt. who was one of the city's illustrious citizens, was the first advocate of the inter national peace congress.
 "McCabe park Is )cated on the north end of Main street. and in colonial times was known as north park. Number 3 engine house of the fire department is located here.
 "Smalley park located on Smalley street represents the location of the first meeting house in this city, and Q large boulder suitably inscribed and placed in the southwest corner marks the exact spot. In colonial times this park was known as the parade ground a place where the people assembled and the soldiers drilled. Today it is occupied by playground which was grade. fenced, and equipped in 1923.
 These fours small parks are the oldest parks in the city.
 There are several other triangu- lar plots scattered about but are of lesser importance and Of compara- lively recent origin.
 Our small parks though small have distinct position of impor- tance in the city, for by improving them with grading and planting they become beauty spots and dress up the city as well as to encourage those in the immediate neighbor- hood to likewise improve their own homes"

were recognized years ago when owned as private picnic park.
 "The low flat land which occu- pies the greater portion Of the park
 is devoted to athletic sports and 1t Is largely used by the public. It is the policy of the commissioners to stress athletic sports of all kinds in | this park. and with that in view we now have. two baseball diamonds, two football fields. and a quarter mile cinder running track. and yari- time two jennie courts are being constructed.
 Tt is interesting to note that in preparing this large area of flat land which comprises about twenty eight acres, it was necessary that extensive drainage and grading be carried out and this has been well done as time has told. Not only was the land carefully graded and drained but Willow brook itself has been rebuilt. The question of the development of, this park rested wholly on the matter of drainage. and with this now accomplished all future work may be safely carried out.
 "A drive makes accessible the various features and there is about to be placed at South Main street a new entrance. consisting Of stone tower depicting Moro Cas- tie" with connecting bridge over the brook leading into the athletic field. This will be memorial to the veterans of the Spanish War.
 Stanley Quarter Park
 'Is situated in the nothern part of the city and at times is incor- rectly spoken of as The North End park, due no doubt to its geograph- ical location. However, the name Stanley Quarter was given this park to conserve the old colonial name by which this district was known and is known today.
 Unlike either Of the other large
 
 native trees, and shrubs. Starting with high plateau at the west the land drops down into brook ravine, and again rises only to gradually slope down with here and there a level area until a low basin is reached, where lies the park lake: and beyond Stanley street which is the main road to the center of the city to the south and to Hartford to the north. Unusually good views are experienced from the higher points and pleasing scenery from the lower levels.
 Mine and ten years ago some twenty-two thousand red and white pine trees were planted along the north. west and a portion of the south boundary line. Through care lessness of the public some two thousand of these have been de- stroyed by fire. This future forest will be made accessible by winding trails, and summer houses will en- brace the promontories from which worthwhile views will be attained
 Nature being so lavish in making this a natural park much will re- main as it is with the exception of that portion situated along Stan ley street where 1t Is planned to in- corporate several amusement fea- lures, for which there is consider able sentiment.
 These will be in addition to the present lake and encircling drive, recently completed. and the athletic field which will be graded in the near future.

History Of Mew Britain Parks
 Told in Pamphlet Just Issued

There was considerable opposition
 to the acquisition of this land by
 thu city and early records show that the same stamina and courage was
 reflected in the success Of their ef-
 forts as in the formation of our
 large industries with which these same men were closely allied
 "The late Frederick Law OIm- stead, Senior. of national reputation as landscape architect, was en- | gagged at that early date and fur nished an interesting design for development which has been in the main carried out from time to time. The mile drive which encircles ''The Common" has been pronounc- cd by men well qualified 10 judge as especially typical of Mir. Olm- stead's ability and Is so well done that it warrants careful studying. From the hilltop which one reaches 1 either by winding walks or drive i most excellent view of the city i city Is beheld. spread out below with the surrounding country and encircling hills in the distance. "Visitors from all parts of the country are loud In their praise of | the unique setting of this park In the very heart Of the city. and Of the most unusual, and excellent views afforded.
 "The character of the park is such that care Is taken not to over- do or not 10 spoil the present rural characteristics as after all in a fast growing community this is most apt to be true. The city is trying to conserve the very elements which make this park what it is and have allowed as judiciously as possible the entrance of such sports and pur- suits for those inclined as it seems expedient to do.
 Willow Brook Park
 Sometimes referred to as The South End park lies along the southern boundary of the city, and a portion of 1t extends over into the neighboring town of Berlin. It is bisected it's full length by q wind ing stream of water known as Will low Brook from which the park name Is derived Along upper reaches of the stream history tells us were located in colonial times small grist mills where the natives brought their grain in OK carts. An old mill pond with it's dam and waterfall is to be restored and municipal skating rink formed when the city feels free to do so. As Will low brook drops down from the up- per levels, and the above mentioned mill sites 1t winds in an interesting and unusual manner along steep sharp ridges which are covered with q healthy growth of native trees. Passing through these ridges it en- ters an extensive flat area better known as Brick Yard Flats" Through these flats it passed on it's way to join the Mattabessett river some miles distant, but taking with it all park drainage water and the waters of a generous spring brook where is elocated public swimming pool.
 "The park then has two distinct types of land-high steep hillsides, and extensive acreage of low flat land. The western portion contains the swimming pool and a play ground with plapeS for pirnjcs and furnishes fine scenery, assets which
