Park and Recreation Structures: Part I - Administration and Basic Service Facilities
Good AH. 1938. Park and Recreation Structures: Part I - Administration and Basic Service Facilities. Historic Structure Report. U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service. Washington, DC
Park and Recreation Structures was published in 1938, at a time when National Park Service, State park authorities, and other agencies which administer natural park areas have been constantly improving the technique of design and execution for the structures that are required for safe, convenient, and beneficial public use of these parks. Progress in this field had been especially marked since the inception of the Emergency Conservation Work program, with its steadily increasing and sound emphasis on development of recreational facilities, particularly in State parks. Stimulated by the problems this work has presented, competent architects have produced designs—and seen them converted into reality—that denote a real advance in this somewhat specialized field. This publication describes national park structures, grouped by type. Part I, Administrative and Basic Service Facilities, includes those that are necessary for the control, supervision, and maintenance of an area together with those basic services which might be termed the park equivalents of the city’s public utilities. It includes descriptions of character and features, photographs, examples, and drawings.
