. Facilities, Pendleton, Ore.
Whether a city proposes to meet all
or only some of the recreational needs
of the community, a comprehensive
Plan is desirable In the Interests of
economy. For this reason, and be
cause H is obvious that pirbllc support
has been secured for nothing less than

provements InPondleton tho follow
ing plan is submitted:
The plan Is as colse an adaption of
up-to-date methods to local conditions
as could be made nfter two days spent
In their study. This Included a care
ful inspection of present recreational
and educational facilities, study of the
geographic features of the city, some

Municipal Year-Hound Itraratlloii
" System
'it Is believed by the writer that
nothing short of a complete municipal
year-round recreational system will
fully meet the needs of Pendleton.
Such 4 system provides for the recrea
tional needs of no one group In the
community and at no one season of the
year, but is planned to enrich all
phases of community llfo and to ren
der service three hundred and sixty
five, days of the year. It furnishes op
portunity for and direction to the play
life of children; It provides physical
activity tor both sexes and all ages: It
stimulates and directs Into wholesome
expression the musical and dramatic
Instincts of a community through pro
vision for amateur and professional
performances, and encourages co-operative
enterprises of tho most demo
cratic character. It Includes the es
tablishment of one or more community
recreation centers and the year-round
employment of at least one trained
recreational director. It should co
ordinate and'utlllxe all existent facili
ties and provide such additional ones
as are necessary to moct the recrea
tional needs of all.
