DEPARTMENT OF PARKS,

COMMISSIONERS' REPORT.

Hon. Patrick A. Collins,

Mayor of the City of Boston :

Sir, — The Board has the honor herewith to submit this
report for the year ending January 31, 1903.

But one addition to our park area was made during the
year : One and six-tenths acres, including parts of the pri-
vate ways known as Reservoir road and Wade street, were
added to Chestnut Hill park by a taking made November 12,
1902, which makes the area of that park in charge of this
Board 55.4 acres. The area under the control of the Metro-
politan Water and Sewerage Board is 160.65 acres, of which
122.7 acres is in water.

To the playgrounds the following additions were made :

On May 16, 1902, 88,668 square feet of land in East Bos-
ton, bounded by Cottage, Gove, and Lubec streets, and pri-
vate lots on Maverick street, were taken for a playground
for Ward 2, and subsequently, on January 6, 1903, the
Board took a further area of 79,126 square feet, which
included a part of Lubec street, making the whole area of
the playground 3.85 acres.

On June 26, 1902, the Board took 9.6 acres of land on
Washington street and Florence street, between Forest Hills
and Roslindale, and near the land previously taken from
Harvard College for a playground. This last-named land
was given back to the college, in accordance with its desire,
and under the provisions of chapter 187 of the Acts of 1901.

On December 8, 1902, the Board added to the Columbus-
avenue playground 4,397.4 square feet of land on Camden
street, occupied by stables. This land was enclosed on three
sides by the playground. It is hoped that the buildings may
be found useful in connection with the work of the play-
ground.

6

Oak square, Brighton, containing 9,796 square feet of
land, formerly used for school purposes, was transferred to
this department by the City Council March 24, 1902. The
removal of the building and the grading of the site have
made a marked improvement at this important street junction.

A contract was made December 2, 1902, for a building
with lockers and shower-baths for the athletes, and sanitary
accommo dations in the basement at First-street playground,
and plans for other much-needed sanitary and shelter build-
ings are under way.

Further appropriations are needed to make some of the
playgrounds better serve the purpose for which they were
acquired, as some of them are not yet provided with desir-
able conveniences and facilities for play.

A handsome fountain, designed by Mr. Guy Lowell, has
been placed at the Westland avenue entrance of the Fens.
This we owe to the generous bequest of Mrs. Ellen C. John-
son, in memory of her husband, Jesse C. Johnson, and to the
intelligent and unremitting labors of her executrix, Mrs.
Hobert S. Russell.

A playground is needed in Jamaica Plain and one in the
Centre street district, and much more space should be added
to the Prince-street playground. A playground in the
neighborhood of the Fellows-street playground, for the older
youth, would be of much public benefit. The Board can
only repeat its suggestion to our rich and public-spirited
citizens that no better gift can be made to our city, and no
more enduring monument obtained for the giver than a
playground.

The pollution of the water in the Fens by the sewage dis-
charge from Stony Brook menaces the health of the residents
in this part of the city, and is an annoyance to visitors to
this park. It is a serious obstacle to the improvement of
the neighboring territory. This matter has received careful
consideration by this Board. We have called attention to it
in previous reports and in communications to the Mayor and
the Board of Health. This Board is powerless in the mat-
ter, which now rests with the Street Department. The
report of the Commission on the Charles River dam,

appointed by a resolve of the Legislature of last year, is
awaited with interest, as it will deal with this question as
well as others affecting the Fens basin. No time should be
lost in giving at least temporary relief to the Fens basin from
the foul water which now enters into it. This is a most
difficult and serious problem to the Park Department of
Boston.

Full details of the work of the department during the year
will be found in the accompanying reports of our Superin-
tendent and Engineer.

Respectfully submitted,

Charles E. Stratton,

Laban Pratt,

James M. Prendergast,

Commissioners.
Boston, January 31, 1903.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT.

To Chaeles E. Steatton, Laban Pratt and James
M. Peendeegast, Commiissioners :

Gentlemeist, — I herewith submit a report of the work
performed, under the direction of your Board, during the
year 1902.

FeaisTklin Paek.

The improvement in the old woodlands of Franklin Park
resulting from the careful and continued thinning out of all
overcrowding trees and the pruning off of dead and diseased
branches is very marked. This is especially noticeable in
the greater spread of branches in the trees and in the
increase of desirable undergrowth. A considerable area of
woodland has been cleared of tree weeds, notably in the
woods opposite and west of the Overlook, on Juniper Hill,
and in the woods bordering Morton street. On account of
insufficient funds little was done the past season in adding
loam to the sterile parts of the old woods. This is regret-
table, and it is to be hoped, in the interests of the future,
that sufficient money will be given the Board to permit the
carrying on of this work.

Thinning out in the plantations was continued, as in past
years, to allow room for the full development of trees and
shrubs. A large part of the material removed was used in
preparing new plantations, and the remainder was sold.

The larger part of the work of the past season in Franklin
Park, however, consisted in the preparation of ground for
planting and in the care of the young plantations. These
plantations, owing to the dryness of the three preceding
seasons, required constant cultivation and the application of
mulchings for the conservation of moisture in the ground.
This work extended generall}^ over the entire system of
parks, and, in consequence, the trees and the shrubs are in
good growing condition.

10

The wall on Walnut avenue, between Seaver street and
the entrance to Franklin Park, was completed last spring,
and the slopes behind the wall were graded and planted.
The construction of the widened street at this point by the
Street Department would improve very much this important
entrance to the park.

The drainage of the Nazingdale hollow was extended into
EUicottdale, and spurs were carried into the wet spots. It
is expected that this will complete the tile-drainage of the
golf course. The beech plantation near the Refectory also
was tile-drained.

The public have shown much interest in a small collection
of native wild fowl colonized at Scarboro' Pond. In view of
this arrangements have been made for additions to the
number of species. The location is an admirable one for
this purpose, as the pond contains three islands well suited
for nesting and for protection from dogs. The pond is also
a favorite resort of the public.

Several pieces of iron and wood-working machinery have
been purchased for our repair shops. Our equipment now
enables us to do all our repair work at home, including
machine and blacksmith work, horseshoeing, carpentering,
plumbing, painting, pipe-work and harnessmaking.

Arnold Arboretum.
The usual care of the roads and walks was continued.

Olmsted Park and Riverway.

Along the Riverway and the shores of Leverett Pond the
work of extending the loam bed to the water's edge is in
progress. This work will be completed in time to allow of
the planting in the spring of shrubbery nearly to the shore
line. Semi-aquatic plants will be planted along the shores.
This treatment, by softening the present hard shore line, will
greatly improve this beautiful piece of water.

The eight pairs of European swans purchased and placed
in Jamaica Pond, and the native geese and ducks, proved
very attractive to our many visitors.

11

The Fens.

The subject of the Fens is a discouraging one, not alone
from the foul condition of its pond, but from the fact that
its horticultural possibilities are curtailed by a lack of loam
and by the sterile underlying gravel.

By constant tilth, shrubbery may be kept in good growth,
yet trees cannot attain fair proportions under such conditions.
From time to time additions of loam should be made until
the accumulated dejjth is sufficient in body to afford nutrition
for large growth, and, at the same time, to conserve the
moisture, which is now quickly absorbed by the gravelly
subsoiL

The trees bordering the drives have had additions made to
their loam beds until they now have a continuous bed of
loam eight feet wide by three and one-half feet in depth.
Further additions of loam will be required before a fine
avenue of trees can be expected. Appropriations for increas-
ing the depth of soil in the Fens would be a wise measure,
in view of its importance to the future.

Commonwealth Avenue.
The improved appearance resulting from the thinning out
of the trees on the eastern end of Commonwealth avenue is
clearly apparent. The remaining trees, many of them good
specimens, can be seen in their individuality, and they now
have more opportunity for the spread of their branches than
when they were closely crowded. A thinning out of the
younger trees, between Dartmouth street and Massachusetts
avenue, was made during the past season. These trees had
grown to a point where their branches were beginning to
intermingle, and serious crowding and damage would soon
have resulted. This portion of the avenue is underlaid
mostly with porous gravel, which has a covering of loam not
exceeding twelve or thirteen inches in thickness. These don-
ditions certainly are not conducive to a growth of fine trees.

Charlesbank.

This useful park continues to draw large numbers of
people. The mounds are reserved for women and children ;

12

the men, however, have free access to the walks and the
seats on the river front. The gymnasium at the east end is
for men and boys, the other at the west end for women and
children. Competent teachers are in charge of the gymna-
siums, those for the women's gymnasium being under the
direction of the Massachusetts Emergency and Hygiene
Association. Large numbers enjoy the skating furnished on
the men's gymnasium grounds.

Wood Island Paek.
Tree growth on Wood Island continues to be satisfactory
in spite of its exposure to strong winds ; and the number of
visitors, influenced by the improved conditions, increases with
each year. The gymnasium, ball grounds, cricket grounds,
tennis and foot-ball grounds and skating fields have been
kept in good condition, and have been largely patronized
during the past season.

Charlestown Heights.
Outside of the regular maintenance of the grounds, no
work of importance was done at this park during the past
season. Being located opposite a large school-house, and
being a favorite resort for a considerable number of pupils,
the upkeep is relatively large and is out of proportion to the
extent of the grounds.

Marine Park.

In spite of its exposed position this valuable and beauti-
ful breathing place is assuming quite a wooded appearance.
The condition of the trees and shrubbery, like that at Wood
Island Park, proves that the bleak shores and islands of the
bay can be clothed with foliage.

No work other than that of maintenance was done the
past season, with the exception of the planting of shrubbery
in various places around the ponds.

On account of the coolness of the past summer bathers
were not so numerous as during preceding summers. The
band concerts given in July and August were attended by
very large numbers of people. The steamboat service

13

between Castle Island and the public landing received the
usual patronage.

Straisidway.

The work of filling, grading and road-making was con-
tinued on the Burnham wharf property. Sufficient ground
was graded to form a good ball field of three diamonds,
which were much used, as were later the three acres which
were flooded for skating. The work of filling out into the
bay by the teams of the Sanitary Department is still in
progress.

Chestnut Hill Park.

Outside of the regular maintenance work little was done
in this park except the pruning and thinning out of the old
woodlands. Some planting also was done, and preparation
made for further planting in the spring. The acres added by
purchase to the north border will permit of a wider planted
belt, where a border screen is much needed.

Berners Square.
In this newly acquired park some thinning of the trees
was done. A small appropriation will suffice for grading
and drainage.

Dorchester Park and West Roxbury Parkway.

Overcrowding and diseased trees were thinned out. At
West Roxbury Parkway the fine white oaks near Weld
street were pruned of dead and diseased limbs. The ordi-
nary maintenance of the wild bridle-path was continued.

The Nursery.
In the Franklin Field nursery a quantity of nursery stock
from seed beds was set out last spring. The stock generally
is in good condition, and affords a varied assortment of trees
and shrubs from which to draw for planting. The newly
broken ground was sowed to oats and millet for a forage
crop. Subsequently the ground was twice ploughed, and it
is now in fine condition for nursery work. To determine
the species best adapted for golf greens and other games

14

requiring a tough turf, a collection of grasses was sown in
the nursery last spring (for experiment and observation).

Franklin Field.
(77 Acres.}

The Stratton street and Blue Hill avenue borders of Frank-
lin Field were graded, and reinforced in places with addi-
tional loam, for the belt of trees varying in width from forty
to sixty feet to be planted in the coming spring. These
trees will serve as a protection and a background for the
field.

The Street Department having completed the drainage
conduits early last spring we were enabled to level up and
throw the whole field open to use. Subsequently this
department filled the old open ditch along the Talbot avenue
side, and prepared the ground along its course for a row of
trees.

As set forth in recent reports the field generally is uneven
from unequal settlements in the original grading. The work
of regrading is too expensive to be undertaken under our
maintenance appropriation.

The ball field is in increasing demand. On Saturday
afternoons, especially, the whole area is occupied by base-
ball and cricket teams. About forty acres were flooded last
winter for skating.

. Cheistophee, Gibson Playground.

Dorchester Avenue and Park Street.
{S.8 Acres.)

In the triangle, or children's corner, some simple apparatus
was set up, which consisted of swings, swinging ladders and
teeter boards. A small shelter pavilion was also built, a
basket-ball outfit was supplied, and tennis courts were laid
out. The games were carried on under the superintendence
of a teacher, and this effort to interest the children and
direct them in their play proved quite successful. The ex-
pense was light, and the results would fully justify the
extension of this branch of playground work.

15

The field was well patronized during the season, com-
mencing with base-ball, running through tennis, quoits, and
ending with skating in winter.

Savin Hill Beach.

Springdale Street, Dorchester.
(^18.6 Acres.^
The bathing-house at this beach contains thirty-one rooms
for women and fifty-four for men. The number of bathers
last season was 65,500. The accommodations were found to
be inadequate, and at times several persons had to occupy
one room. The beach -is well sheltered, and very popular
with the residents of the neighborhood. Additional rooms
are needed.

Nepoisiset Playground.

Neponset Avenue.
{18 Acres.^
No work other than that of maintenance was done on this
playground. Settlements of the marsh under the filled part
of the ground continue to give trouble. The ball field, how-
ever, was kept in fairly good condition. The skating field
was flooded as usual.

Mystic Playground.

Chelsea Street and Mystic Kiver.
{2.3 Acres.-)
Swings, teeter boards, ladders, and sand boxes were in-
stalled early last season at one end of the playground. A
small pavilion was also built for shelter. This section was
fenced off from the remainder of the playground by a woven
wire fence. A teacher was employed, and this resulted in a
crowded children's corner.

Charlestown Playground.

Main and Alford Streets.
(14- Acres. )
The filling of this playground is not fully completed.
There is, however, sufficient smoothly graded ground for

16

present demands, including an area of 2.2 acres for flooding
for skating in winter.

Rogers Park.

Lake and Foster Streets.
{6.9 Acres?)
The slope on the Foster street side of this park was planted
with shrubs last spring, and some filling and grading was
done on the playground. More graded space is needed, as
this playground is much frequented by the young men of
the neighborhood. To obtain this space it will be necessary
to carry underground the brook now crossing the park.
Other needs of this park are filling for the pond and play
ground, also sanitary conveniences and a shelter.

North Brighton Playground.

Western Avenue and Harvard Street.
(14- Acres.')
No work other than that of maintenance was done at this
playground the past season. An extension of the graded
area is needed for playground purposes, as are also fences
and the preparation of the ground for the planting of trees
around its border. A shelter and sanitary building is also
much needed. The skating field on this playground was
flooded the past winter.

Billings Field.

Lagrange, near Centre Street, West Roxbury.
(11 Acres.)
The work of planting the slope at Bellevue street and
grading and seeding the tennis courts was completed last
spring. The Lagrange street border also was graded and
prepared for planting with trees. Under-drainage was laid
in various wet places, which, with the deepened outlet across
Lagrange street, very much improved the grounds. A bog-
hole under one portion of the field gives trouble by settling,
and repeated filling has not yet found a solid bottom. The
grounds were flooded as usual last winter for skating. Sani-
tary and shelter accommodations are needed.

17

ROSLINDALE PLAYGROUND.

South Walter and Eobert Streets.
{3.7 Acres.-)
During last spring this plaj^ground was finely graded and
seeded, making a very good field for ball playing. The
grounds are popular and much used. On this account it
was found necessary to remove the two large willows which
stood in the centre of the playground and interfered with
the games. A sanitary and shelter building is needed here,
as are also a division fence between the Pearce property and
the playground, and a retaining-wall on Robert street. A
skating area of 1.6 acres was provided last winter.

Columbus- AVENUE Playground.
(4.5 Acres.')

The smoke and dust of the neighboring railroad have
proved too severe for the tender foliage of the Norway
maples planted around the borders. No work of construction
was done during the past season.

The same arrangement a^ to the management of the play-
ground that obtained last year has been continued. The
Park Department keeps charge of the ordinary maintenance
of the grounds and the skating field, while the Civic League
is allowed to assume the management and expenses of the
games. The grounds were largely attended during the
season.

Prince-street Playground.

Prince and North Bennet Streets,
(0.4- Acre.)

No work other than that of maintenance was done here
during the past season.

First-street Playground.

First and M Streets, South Boston.
Q-.G Acres.)
On account of the great difficulty experienced in holding
water on this playground, and the consequent unsatisfactory

18

results, further effort to form an ice field for skating has
been abandoned until a proper bottom can be made. In the
mean time the Strandway playground, which contains a good
field for ice, will serve this district for skating.

Bleachers with a seating capacity of 500 have been erected
in the ball field.

Fellows-stkeet Playground.

Fellows and Hunneman Streets.
(0.85 Acre.)
The introduction into this playground of apparatus for
children's use made it at once popular. Instead of playing
on the sidewalks, as had hitherto been their preference, the
children swarmed into the playground. Children's allotment
gardens were laid out and planted, and each owner of a plot
vied with the other in bringing forth results. A little sur-
reptitious changing of plants was done occasionally, yet a
fair show remained to the end of the season, when the plants
were taken by the children to their homes. The teacher, as
at the other playgrounds, contributed largely to the success
of the experiment. Sanitary accommodations are needed
here, also an open-sided shelter over the sand boxes.

Waed Two Playground.

Cottage Street, near Maverick Street, East Boston.
(3.8 Acres. ^
A portion of the new playground acquired by purchase
during the past year was roughly graded, and a base-ball field
laid out for use last spring. This playground is conveniently
situated for a well-populated district. Sanitary and shelter
accommodations, fencing, and ground preparation for planting
bordering trees are its needs.

Forest Hills and Mt. Hope Playground.

(9.6 Acres.}

This playground, acquired by purchase during the past

season, is conveniently located for the Forest Hills, Roslin-

dale and Mt. Hope districts. The ground is nearly level,

and will require comparatively little labor to bring it into

19

good condition for use. By using a six-ton steam roller last
season two fairly good diamonds were made and equipped
with backstops. The field was used also for foot-ball games
last fall. xA.n appropriation is needed for grading and for
a sanitary building.

Oak Square.

Brighton.
(OM Acre?)

This small triangle, which was turned over to the Park
Department by the City Council last season, contained an
old school building. This has been removed, and the
asphaltum flooring of the yard has been taken up. There
are a few good trees on the triangle, and for their benefit
some gravel was removed from the surface and loam substi-
tuted. A little additional loam is needed to finish the
grading in readiness for seeding. The construction of a few
seats under the shade of the trees will make a pleasant
resting place.

Sports and Pastimes.

An increased interest in golf was manifested the past
season. The total attendance at the Franklin Park links
was 47,469 as against 31,007 the previous year. The six-
hole course for beginners proved of great service in relieving
the nine-hole course from overcrowding, much of which had
been caused by the slow play of novices in the game.

The increased demand for tennis courts necessitated the
laying out of a number of new courts in various parts of the
park system. We now have over one hundred courts in
operation, which, on Saturdays and holidays, are all in use.

The past winter did not prove a satisfactory one for skat-
ing. Quickly alternating periods of frost, thaw, or snow
made the maintenance of ice for skating very difficult. The
following table gives statistics in detail :

Curling was enjoyed by its devotees at Scarboro' pond.
Several matched games were played, whicli were watched
with interest by many people.

At the various playgrounds, base-ball, foot-ball, and cricket
games were amply provided for, and largely attended both
by players and spectators. Forty-four regularly equipped
diamonds were maintained by the department. The Frank-
lin Park playground, in addition, furnished accommodation
for from twelve to fifteen games for boys and young men.

Details of measurements of work performed during the
past season will be found in the report of the engineer.

Your Superintendent desires to note his appreciation of the
able services of C. E. Putnam, engineer, and Messrs. J. B.
Shea and J. W. Duncan, assistant superintendents, in the
execution of the work of the department.
Respectfully submitted,

J. A. Pettigrew,

Superintendent.

The Fens.

The deposit of foul mud and sewage in the Fens Pond is
probably as large as it was before the pond was partly
cleaned in 1898, and, should the coming summer be unusu-
ally warm, the condition of the pond will be worse than ever
before.

The cleaning of the pond will be very expensive, and, if
done while the pollution of Stony Brook is allowed to con-
tinue, will give only partial relief, and that will be tempo-
rary. With the present quantity- of pollution entering the
pond it is impracticable, if not impossible, to maintain cur-
rents sufficient to prevent the fouling of the water and the
continuous accumulations of deposits of foul mud.

22

The foul-flow conduit, often recommended by the Park
and Street Departments, should be built at once, and imme-
diately after it is built the pond should be thoroughly
cleaned. It can then be easily kept clean and attractive,
and, if the Charles-River dam is not built, will become, what
it was designed to be, a salt-water basin surrounded by salt
marshes ; or, if the dam is built, it will become what will be
much better, a sluggish fresh-water stream, flowing between
low banks covered with a luxuriant vegetation.

The drinking fountain and ornamental gateway that is
being erected at Westland entrance, under the will of the
late Ellen C. Johnson, is nearly completed.

EEPORT OF THE COMMITTEE OF THE MASSACHU-
SETTS EMERGENCY AND HYGIENE ASSOCIATION
IN CHARGE OF THE WOMEN'S AND CHILDREN'S
DIVISION AT CHARLESBANK.

Boston, January 5, 1903.
To the Honorable Board of Park Commissioners :

Gentlemen, — The gymnastic and educational work at
Charlesbank continues with unabated zeal, though we have no
new features of special interest to report to you for this, the
twelfth year of our superintendence of the place.

During the summer season, from May 15 to October 1, the
number in the gymnasium on a hot day at noon varied from
two or three to two hundred or more on a fine Saturday
afternoon. On the playground there were slightly fewer
than last year, owing probably to the number of cool, misty,
damp days. At times, however, several hundred appeared
there and in the sand-boxes, one hundred and twenty-five
often playing together in a single game at one time.

There were the usual class lessons for beginners and for
advanced work, as well as the free or voluntary gymnastic work,
one class in the middle of the summer meeting at 6.30 P.M.
The " Little Beginners' " class met on Saturday mornings,
with an enrolment of sixty-two and an average attendance of
twenty-four, but the "Big Beginners" had a hundred and
eighteen names on their roll. The devices of plays in the
sand-boxes and of games, gymnastic and otherwise, were end-
less. The kindergarten occupations and the dolls' dress-
making classes were unusually successful. The hurdy-gurdy,
provided once a week by a friend, in the summer, was as
much enjoyed by the mothers as by 'the dancers.

Books, magazines and games have been given by many
friends, though more are always wanted, which occupy and
amuse the children in hot summer days as well as in winter,
after the class work is over.

27

Spray baths were used by large numbers of the children
who wore bloomers. One thousand seven hundred and
eleven baths were taken from June 1 to September 9, exclu-
sive of those taken by the women after class work, of which
no record is kept.

Owing to the illness of Miss Cutler for many weeks, her
place was filled by Miss Agnes Otis Brigham, whose assist-
ants were Miss Mannship, Miss Haskell and Miss Phelps.
In the autumn. Miss Cutler resumed her position and is in
sole charge of the winter work, when all the movable
apparatus is placed in the large upper hall.

From October 1 to May 15 there are two evening classes
for grown-up girls, and two morning classes for women and
four classes for children (three in the afternoons when school
is over and one on Saturday mornings), who, after their
regular gymnastic exercise, are allowed the delights of
" scrapping " ; that is, of pasting printed anecdotes, verses
and pictures in scrap books, each child having her own hero
or heroine, McKinley, Lincoln, Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Queen Victoria being favorite subjects for enterprise. This
side development of Charlesbank under the guidance of Miss
Cutler, which yet is not allowed to interfere with its legiti-
mate work, is bringing large influences for good into the
lives of the children.

Miss Crowley is the pianist for the winter classes, her
salary being borne by the association and the piano being
lent by a friend.

The committee is very grateful for the wise attention
given by Mr. Pettigrew and his assistants to the interests of
Charlesbank and for their readiness to confer with your
committee in all helpful ways.

Respectfully submitted,

Kate Gannett Wells,
Anna Phillips Williams,
Mabel Delano Lord,

For the Committee,
