Land gifts to the Park District have <br />been a tradition over the past 70 years. <br />The various lands given have been devel- <br />oped into some of the most beautiful and <br />well used parks in the area. Land gift <br />parks are listed below and are indicated <br />on the map on the previous page: <br />Your land gift could be developed into <br />a beautiful park or it could be used for <br />other park purposes.
