Synopsis
Excerpt from The First County Park System: A Complete History of the Inception and Development of the Essex County Parks of New Jersey
Parks and playgrounds are commanding more and more attention. Their creation, care and maintenance have become one of the most important of municipal functions. The increasing interest of all classes in every urban com munity accentuates the movement toward better and healthier conditions in, and contiguous to, the centers of population. American literature on this subject has thus far mainly considered effects rather than causes; results instead of methods.
In this volume, the intention of the author has been to correctly indicate, step by step, the moving forces and potential facts in the development of an extended and costly park system, one of the largest, and the initial county park system of this country.
