Description
(30 Acres) Improved a natural park by laying 6,500 lineal feet of oiled macadam to serve as a base for future pavement as the traffic conditions may demand, 6,500 feet of rock gutter and 1,250 cubic yards of rubble wall, built water supply system, convenience station, rustic shelter and two playfields, cultivated 6,500 trees and planted 2,500 more. This site was badly in need of improvement. This present condition is in marked contrast to its former state.–Healy, p. 55.

There is no reason or room for vehicles in the park unless you admit only golf carts, which would require reworking the road to be less steep, but may help the area become more pedestrian friendly from the park to the new Hunter’s Point project.
