Lansing Area Park Development

Description:

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." The report is bound with two pieces of stained wood and a leather cord, and the cover design and title were done with a woodburning tool. This report includes a list of parks; a historical sketch of the early park system by Birt Darling; information about the city's Parks and Recreation Department, Urban Renewal projects; and other information about the park system. 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.
