Assiniboine Park: Designing and Developing a People's Playground
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars

About this ebook
In 1904, Assiniboine Park was conceived as a people's playground, a place devoid of commercial amusements where all classes of Winnipeggers could relax and rejuvenate in idyllic and Arcadian surroundings. The book traces the development of the park and its infrastructure— the layout of fields, forests and gardens, the two pavilions, the conservatories and the zoo— and how this corresponded with an ever-evolving Winnipeg. It explains the actions, conflicts, and arguments of a colorful cast of politicians and bureaucrats who made the park what it is today. The story of Assiniboine Park is told within the wider context of the evolution of urban parks in Canada and the United States.
