- Title page: "Lansing Area Park Development: A project of the Lansing Area Community Resources Workshop in cooperation with Michigan State University, by Jean H. Nilsen and Susan Zerbst. Director: Mrs. Frances B. Schneider; Assistant Director: Ralph Chapman. July, 1969."

Some charts and indexes cut from other publications are included (with no sources given), and color snapshots for many of the parks are also in the report. These photos have been scanned individually in addition to the full report document. Contact the library for more information.
