1. Proper design can make a facility easy and
economical to maintain. A part of this design
process is the choice of materials.
2. The landscape architect must keep in mind
the budget within which the park department
is operating and also the proper quality of
material to be used.

3. The play equipment or the area for games
will depend on the age group and, to a
certain extent, the predominant sex using
the facilities.
4. Selected lists of equipment and space
requirements are presented in Tables 2 and
3.

5. Landscape plantings should not bechosen just to beautify the area.Those plantings that are included inthe design should be "working"plantings. They should perform a
specific function and at the sametime they should be carefullyselected for qualities that will addbeauty.
6. Some of the functions a plant can
serve in a public park include borderprotection, screening, pedestriantraffic control, space organizationand definition, separation of playareas, and shading.

Many times a park development using all standard recreationalequipment falls short of its potential because the elements arenot compatible with one another. In the previous 2 illustrations,however, a unique land-use design is shown with separate playcompartments for each type of equipment. The bottom picture,especially, indicates the structuring that carefully selected tree
and shrub forms can afford in developing individual play spacesseparated from adjoining equipment. Loose aggregatesurfacing is used in all compartments.

7. Border protection plantings are generallylocated along the property lines for one oftwo purposes:
They may simply define the area of the park.Trees spaced along the property line wouldaccomplish this.
They may also serve as protective plantingsbetween the park and adjacent streets andproperties.

8. Such plantings could include large shrubs
and trees, depending on the degree of
protection required.

9. In general it is better to leave the views from
the park open, rather than solidly enclosed.
10. A screen planting (a solid mass of one type
of plant to give the effect of a wall) might be
used to obscure an objectionable view or to
provide a barrier in areas of potential safety
hazards.

11. An ideal shrub for ascreen would be talland narrow, but withheavy foliage to the
ground.12. The height of the
screen must be acompromise between
the height needed forscreening and thelimitation of scale givenby the area.

13. To function effectively
as a visual screen, the
planting will have to be
at least 6 feet high inorder to block any
object from view.

16. In choosing a hedge,select plants that havedense foliage whichcannot be seen through
and which are able tosurvive close together.
17. Hedges can either beclipped (formal) or
unclipped (informal). Theformal hedge requires agreat deal ofmaintenance.

18. If the hedge is
being used to
control movements
of people, it is oftenadvisable to select
varieties that have
thorns.

19. Group plantings aid in space definition and
organization.
20. The group planting is composed of several
different plant varieties. For example, three
or four plants that are similar in form, color,
and texture can be combined to form the
bulk of the planting.

21. When shade
trees are used,
their location must
be carefullydetermined to avoid
interference with
any specialactivities or sport
areas in the public
park.

22. The tree plantingshould include acombination of small,flowering trees withmedium and largevarieties. Be sure toselect trees that growwell in your area.
23. Do not use trees that
have "nuisance" litter,such as messy fruit,seed pods, and brokentwigs.

24. Do not select trees whose roots are heavy
surface feeders. Such trees interfere with the
growth of nearby lawn and plantings and
cause pavement to heave.
25. Finally, select those that are long-lived and
resistant to ice and wind as well as to insects
and disease.

In this playing field thedesigners have utilized
the sculptural qualities
of earth to create the
mounds or berms
seen in the left
foreground and rightbackground. These
mounds serve as a
safety device by
separating the ball
field from the adjacent
streets, as a visualscreen by masking the
confusion of passing
traffic, and as an
esthetic element on a
flat site.

Park furniture,
such as picnic
tables, waste
receptacles, and
benches, should
be carefullydesigned to be
visually
appealing and
yet sturdy
enough to
withstand hard
use. This bench
meets both
requirements.
