The children’s playground is developing at an even pace. Every Saturday afternoon sees some improvement made. Up to the present there are two swings, a see-saw, parallel bars, skipping ropes, two sets of Roman rings, and a shelter shed. Seating has been provided for grown-ups. Future plans contemplate the erection of a giant’s stride, and a simple form of roundabout.

The children have shown their appreciation of the work done in no doubtful fashion. Those swings seem never to be still, and in that the attractions are keeping the children off the streets, their former playground, the results are good.

Later on, when the apparatus is-all installed it might be possible to fence the playground in and lay out a few flower beds, etc., which the children might be trained to look after. Then they will feel a sense of ownership, and the influence upon them cannot fail to be good.
