26 PARKS Or " CITY. USED IN RECREATION Restful, Shaded Spots Distributed to All Sections. STREAMS AN AID f State’s Natural Seen ery in Easy Driving Distance, Beauties of nature are ever conducive to human happiness and contentment. Poverty and even illness fail to rob normal persons of their delight in quiet, restful spots, shaded by giant trees and threaded by pretty streams. Indianapolis is doubly fortunate in the possession of picturesque scenery and the sort of artistic enterprise which results in capitalization of nature's gifts. Five streams thread their ways through the city’s park and boulevard system. The twenty-six parks of the city are so advantageously lo cated that one can be reached by ten minutes walk from any part of the city. Discontent and troublesome spirit cannot long survive in the midst of natural beauty, sarants declare. Riches can buy no happiness superior to that to be found In contemplation of charming scenes. Early in the history of Indianapolis public spirit'd citizens gained appreciation of the value of open spaces. The city's business and residential districts were not permitted to crowd nature out. Comprehensive plans for parks and parkways were formed early enough that the need, of every part of the city have been well considered. NO "VERBOTES" KICKS IK PARKS.

The utility of these twenty-six open spaces has not been forgotten in the striving after beauty and the presentation of natural advantages. Every park is a playground for children and grownups alike. No “verboten” signs mar the prospect In Indianapolis parks. In tbe matter of acreage the city’s park system leaves some room for improvement and development, which by the way is planned for by the city park and the city planning commission. But as far ns location and beauty are concerned, little is left to be desired. Three large outlying parks have formed the nucleus of the growing system. Riverside, on the northwest—R beauty spot and an amusement park combined— Brookside, on the northeast and Garfield, on the south, are the most important of the eitys’ reserves. RIVERSIDE PARK COVERS 916 ACRES. Riverside covers the greatest territory, 976 acres, and offers the greatest variety of entertainment. A beautiful boulevard running along the river bluffs with views over a large part of the city and charming country vistas, leads to Riverside. Splendid residences with landscaped gardens be-.der the boulevard for quite a distance. White River Is spanned at Riverside ny an artistic concrete bridge, and boating throughout the season is insured by a great dam of masonry. The excellent boating facilities afforded at the park draw thousands of enthusiasts to the clubs during the spring and summer Two eighteen-hole go'.i courses, maintained in splendid condition, fu.mlsh amusement for many residents. Then the park contains baseball diamonds, tennis courts, playgrounds for the kiddies, ard rides, thrills, dance halls, a skating rink, shows and food-retailing establishments galore. C.ARFTEED SOUTH tiDF snow SPOT. Garfield Park, the show spot of the south side of Indianapolis, is a model of horticultural triumph. Art and generous expenditures have done wonders for the lovely grove and meadowland covering ISO acres. Fleasant Run and Bean Creek, two typical prairie streams, water the park and afford excuse for charmingly situated rustic bridges. The great greenhouses and sunken gardens of Garfield Park are the pride of all citizens. Throughout the year palms and other tropical plants of beauty bloom in tbe carefully managed greenhouses. A broad paved terrace in front of the greenhouse with advantageously placed stone benches gives a view upon the sunken gardens with a grove of great forrest trees bordering the brooks in tbe background. Barge urns and beautifully designed pedestals bearing sweet flowering plants entice strolling visitors from flowee-bed to flower-bed to the remotest reaches of tbe garden. Playgrounds and athletic fields of ad kinds are also provided at Garfield Park BROOKSIDE PARK OKE OF ODDEST. As far Into the past as tbe memory ©f the oldest Inhabitant extends Brookside Park has been a popular rendezvous for picnickers. Elm, oak and ash trees land a pastoral beauty to tbe ancient flrovc with its gently outlined hills and vUes and smooth greensward. Pogue's named for one of the city's first fnttlers, meanders through Brookside'c ninety-three acres. Swings and merry-go-rounds of the kid-power kind dot the park plentifully, furnishing equipment for many picnic parties. Tennis courts, baseball diamonds, roqus grounds and completely furnished playgrounds add to tbe attractiveness of the little park. Not many years ago Brook Bids Park was surrounded by cultivated fields. Today the city extends beyond the park OTHER CITT BOSSESSIOKS. The city's park system also Includes Broad Ripple Park, an amusement resort With extensive bathing and boating facilities: Brooksidx Parkway, 52>4 acres: Buzsards’ Roost. 44 acres; Camp Sullivan, J 7 acres: Ellenberger Park, 41 acres; Falrview Park, 200 acres: Fall Creek Parkway, 196 acres: Fletcher triangle, I acre: Highland square. 4 acres; Holll- i lay Park, 80 acres; Indtanola square, 1% acres; Irving Circle, 114 acres; Me- ] Carthy Place, 11-5 acres; Morris Square.

S3 acres; Riley playgrounds, 12 acres; i St. Clair Park, 3 acres; Spade's Place, acres: University Square. 4 acres; Willard Park, 15 acres, and White Rive* Parkway, 46 acres. Falrview Park, owned by the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company, Is perhaps the best loved resort of Indianapolis. It is the most rugged spot In the vicinity and is heavily wooded. Lying along the canal with Its historic towpath, along which Indianapolis lovers bare strolled for more than half a century and overlooking the river It affords wonderful scenic vistas. Winding

paths and roadways through the park load past veritable fairylands of hillside nooks. Like Brookslde Park Falrvlew has for many years served Indianapolis as a picnic ground. Its admirable facilities for seclusion have made Falrvlew especially popular with young folk asvooing bound. Tho towpath, on the brink of the canal, stretches away to- ' ward Riverside Park. It Is heavily | fringed with foliage of trees and bushes i and the canal lies at the foot of a rang# I of -hills with the river bottoms beyond, j A merry-go-round, a pony track, ; where steeds may be engaged for children, tennis courts and baseball diamonds are the regularly obtainable attractions at Falrvlew now. Time was when the amusement attractions In variety drew Sunday crowds to Kairview, hand concerts were Institutional and free shows entertained. But that era is past for Falrvlew. Today the park is given over to picnic parties and to persons who P-d j a genuine attraction In natural beauty. Buzzard's Roost, a particularly wild bit of territory, was acquired by the city through the will of the late William Watson Woollen. The will provides that the park must be kept In Its wild state. Mr. and Mrs. John 11. Holliday presented Holliday park to the city for use as a park during their lifetime. At their i deaths tlie park will become the property | of the city. J STORY ICE IX v j UNIVERSITY SQUARE. y j The most serviceable park in the entire ' * ,tem is University Square. Located In the downtown district, bounded by Now York, Vermont, Pennsylvania and Meridian treets, it affords a resting spot in the midst of teemii r activity. It is handsomely wooded and contains as a centerpiece a beautiful founiaiir surmounted by bronze figures of dancing semi-nudes, i Benches in University park enable hundreds‘of nature-hungry city dwellers to take the air pleasantly each evening. Good highways enable Indianapolis motorists to reach rugged sylvan, retreats of every description in brief journeys. Brown County, with iis lofty hills and unspoiled woods and coverts, can be visited In a day’s ride. The Shades of Death, Blue Bluff, Turkey Run park. Bacon's Swamp, Sugar Creek Woods, Traders Point and Shannon's Lake are among the picturesque and restful resorts easily accessible from Indianapolis. MAINTENANCE COST $300,000 ANNUALLY. The annual maintenance cost of the city's parks and boulevards Is about $300,000. A general maintenance tax levy provides the bulk of this sum, with the supplement of $30,000 from the street railway company in the past and miscellaneous receipts of $25,000. The acreage In the system is valued at $3,000,000 and represents many valuable gifts from in aividuals. The system Is governed by a board of four members, appointed by the mayor. Community playgrounds and beautlfu' parks are recognized by the civic leaders of Indianapolis as the best safeguards against Industrial unrest and class antagonism. The community is drawn Into a much closer and more sympathetic relation by the affection engendered for • beautiful home city.

We have not gone abroad endeavoring to bring ! here industries which would compete with those which we already have. What we want more than anything else Is to ! balance up our production, and with that ! we want Indianapolis manufacturers to know the needs as well as the products of their fellow producers.” “The whole-hearted spirit with which Indianapolis manufacturers, the newspapers and the public in general hare entered into this great exposition enteri prise assured its success from the bogluI ning,” said Fred Millis, director of pub- | llcity. “We fully expect the benefits resulting from the event to make It urgently advisable as an annual show.” i .Tack Quill, chairman of the transportaJ tion committee, has predicted that the 1 courtesy of railroads In fixing rates to | the exposition at less than half fare will bring more than 100,1*00 visitors to the I city.
