New York City relatively large areas of comparatively low cost land are proposed to be acquired for public parks and reservations. The Regional Plan does not specify the character of these lands; that is, whether they should be developed by the state, county or municipality and whether they should be local or country parks, forest reservations or watersheds with limited recreational use. In Dutchess and Putnam counties combined the park system would comprise five times the present acreage; in Orange and Rockland together, a doubling is indicated; in Nassau and Suffolk, four times the present, including many of the south shore islands that are largely in public ownership; in Westchester, nearly a 40% increase. In New Jersey the largest proposed acreages appear for counties which do not a t present have county park commissions. This indicates that the problem of providing adequate parks has already been partly solved by the county systems. In Essex, Union and Hudson counties which established park commissions relatively early, the percentage of increase over the acreages of parks existing in December, 1930, range from 57 to 156; Passaic with a comparatively new county park commission is listed for a percentage increase of 1,710. In the remaining New Jersey counties of the Region almost all of the proposed park system is still to be acquired. It should be remembered that in those counties in which large increases of acreage are suggested land values are relatively low and the opportunities therefore greatest. At the present time only a little over three per cent of the total area in the Region is in parks and parkways. When all the Regional Plan proposals have been made realities, the acreage of the park system will be a fraction over ten per cent of the total area. That this is a conservative figure may be drawn from the fact that even today 13.1% of Manhattan's area is in parks, 16.8% of The Bronx, 15.8% of Rockland County and 7.4% of the whole of New York City. The outstanding facts from this survey of park progress in the New York Region a r e : That there is a growing recognition of the great value of parks, particularly country parks, where the people may have direct access to nature, to forest, field and shore, wtih the various recreational activities appropriate to those sections. That the present tendency in park development is away from the formal, artificial city park and very strongly toward these larger reservations, where there are no warnings to keep off the grass, and where landscaping is confined to a restoration of natural beauty. That in the heart of these reservations there are being provided facilities for wholesome amusement, such as the great bath houses and pavilions at Jones Beach, with their complete recreational facilities, the Casino and bathing facilities at Glen Island and the immensely successful amusement park at Playland, Rye Beach. So successful has the latter been that Westchester County is considering duplicating the facil- �POSTSCRIPT TO BULLETIN NO. 4 Mote to Editors and Subscribers: , , , h h ,,.,.. .„, ,,<nri.< jn ,, m | I I of Information Bulletin">&>. 4, j .

Conclusions The accompanying tables furnish some very interesting comparisons of park development in recent years. The small table shows vividly what eight park commissions have accomplished from the dates of their appointment up to December 31, 1930. Few people realize that in their jurisdiction are to be found almost 100,000 acres of park land acquired at a cost of $127,000,000. Fully half of this acreage has been acquired in the last ten years. The proposals of the Regional Plan call for some 244,000 additional acres of parks and reservations, a total that at first thought seems staggering, but on second thought does not seem so impossible of accomplishment when we consider that the last ten years have seen the acquisition of over 50,000 acres.

The Regional Plan's proposals for additional park acreage, distributed by counties, amount to an aggregate for New York City of over 9,000 acres above that which existed at the end of 1930. About two-thirds of this new park land are in the least developed Boroughs of Queens and Richmond. In Manhattan, where land is most costly, only 270 acres or a 15% increase is proposed. There is still opportunity in the undeveloped sections of The Bronx and Brooklyn for increases of about 20% and 60%, respectively, which in the case of Brooklyn would bring the park acreage to near 1 1 % of the total area.
