Excerpt from Indianapolis Recreation Survey: March Nineteen Hundred Fourteen The movement initiated some two months ago by the General Civic Improvements Committee and approved by your Board, to have made a recreation survey of Indianapolis, under the supervision of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, has accomplished results worthy of your further consideration. The survey has been conducted by Francis R.North, Field Secretary of the national organization. His report is herewith appended. Its perusal shows that he has made an exhaustive and thoughtful study of our recreation facilities, indoor and outdoor, for children, youth and adults; that commendable progress has been made, and a great deal more might be accomplished at a very slight expenditure; that in view of the city's rapid growth very much more should be undertaken for the healthful recreation and happiness of the people - young as well as older. The report should prove a powerful stimulus in the interest of an adequate and proper recreation development of the city.
