FROM The Parks and Recreation Department
SUBJECTi 1964.70 Annual. Report
This is the sixth in a aeries of annual reports
published by
the Parks and Recreation Department of the City of Denton
since its conception in 1964, As in the past, we have
tried to make this report present a breakdown of services
performed by the department in its different phases. '
The report does not mention, however, the many people
involved who spent much time administering and supervising
many of these tasks strictly on a volunteer basis{ The
ability of this department to grow over these past few
years should be attributed to its people. With this
type of dedication in mind, heroin lies the detailed
annual service report for the year 1969-1970,
Reapectfully,

PRrk Maintenance Job Hours Per Area--As we have done in the past by
breaking down the job hours of each maintenance item~we find that our
1
Parks Department performed a nuMer of jobs for other departments as well
as for our own. Many of theio projects were magnified and enlarged in
I ! ,
' 1069-1970 because of the growth of the+ Department and its responsibilities.
-I If we are to best explain the actual. maintenance job hours, we would have to
separate our park maintenance and construction job hours into 14 categories,
j ° Each of them will be listed as follows, 1) City Parks and Traffic. Islands,
E 'l) Cemeteries, 3) Community Building, 4) Swimming Pool, 5) gall piel.ds,
6) City hall, 7) Roadsidos, 8) Library, 9) Hickory Creek, 10) Greenhouse
and Lath House, 11) Womens Building, 12) Stack lot, 13) Shop, and 14)
Miscellaneous Areas,
1. city Parks and Traffic Islands--The City Parks ;Maintenance, which
'f`1 covers seven parks, totaled 9,995 hours.' Table I on the following pages
gives a breakdown of the hours spent on each p„rk, and for what the hours were
wJ spent. Also Included in Table 1 are the traffic island,] which this year
f
ogaln total ton. the hours spent in maintaining the traffic islands totaled
X13 942, You will note that a great jiumbor of hours wore spent in developing
new flower body on tho parks, whid, you will find to be true in the following
areas. And, bpcaiLye of a relatively dry year, a great amount of hours were
spent In watering the parks and tralefic islands,

II. SU~t"y ON TOTAL HOURS of M4INfENANC[l AM) CONSTRUCTION
This section and Table 15 give a summary Of the report Of preceding
pages concerning the maintenance and construction work done by the Parks
bepartWilt. Using comparative figures from last year's report, ane can
doterm no areas where the department has fallen down or has improved.
The total man-hours for all mooing of areas this year is 5890
while last year's total was 9162, As one can see, we mowed over 1,000
I
tile
less this year but still covered same amount of acres and miles.
I
The difference is in thr amowlt of hours spent in the mowing of Hickory 4
Creek Park because tho mowing there was done an a contractual basis. i
Compared to last year our flower bed maintenance and construction
I.
was up to 5492 hours, Another big item this Yoar was plant productiott, }
I
Last year wo spent only about 3600 hours, while this year we spent
i
4433 hours in pl This work Includes the whole cycle of
f~ ant pr'nduct~on,
seeding, propagating, mowing, and planting, Sprinkler repair this year dropped from 25'1 hours to 239 hours, Perhaps we have conquered j
most of our sprinkler system problems.
from 265 to t.. '
Work inside the f~onnntmity Building Increased slightly
I
336' hours, and the filling of graves increased some 300 hours this-year, '

Several special evonts and pagents required a great deal more maintenance
and Assistance from the Parks Division than ever before, 'T'herefore, we
did very little construction this year and a great deal more maintenance, b~
The largest single capital improvement item for the year was the booster
pump at McKenna Park, }
Our grand total; for working man hours in our park maintenance program
last year was 34,773, This year we have increased our total manrhourA by
50000 hours to a total of 39,432. The breakdown of the total hours is
~I
shown in 't'able 15,
In sunmary, thorO is no doubt that this was a year of increased
maintenance and great progress. We )lave made great; strides in the
beautificatit,r Of our Civic Buildings as welt as our parks, However,
there is still much work to be done, and we are continuing to strive for
a more boautiful Denton,

who came to the pool in "Learn to Swim" classes, playground groups and
mentally retarded groups, The total, number of free swimmers was approximately
A,OOO during the summer; therefore, our total number of swimmers was r
about 29,000, This 29,000 represents the total figure that we will. project
I
when we plan our operations for the upcotling year,
Ir' I
The greatest amount of revenue taken in during the season was in ,Tune,

3, spring Recreational Activities-Again this year the Community
Building was used for recreational programs. A full program of activities
was put into effect, and the reaults were tremendous, Table 20 will give ,
you e good picture of the activities that were introduced. -
The number of participants we had in gymnastics for diilferent age groups
j
was tremendous, From February through April we had a total of 1,931 partief-
pants,
{ The second largest participating' group in our recreational program was
the pre-schoolers. These children have limited activity i'n the meeting room
k while many of their mothers participate in a gymnastic class or play volley- -
b4i11, Pre-schoolers played gamen, had reading sessions, aind rhythm games,
Some of the activities carried over into the summer, Volleyball was so "
E po''iular that we carried it over., and it gained in attendance even more than
{ before. E
I M+,;
I The total number of porrf.cipants in the Spring Community Building Metres-
tional Program woo 4,949,
Fot the first time this spring, our department offered an after°achool
program in conjunction with the Denton Independent School District,` We
organized superviaed playgrounds on five city school groundst Fred Moore School., §
i
ku~ f
'dormen Elementary School, 6innings Elementary School, Congreea Junior High
Sehuoi, and Strickland ,!moor High School, Activitie3 were held several after-
noon, weekly on each of the playgrounds mentioned, and were dnpervised by
qualified recreation spociali.sts employed by our department,' We felt that this
j program was very succconful in reaching individuals that would not be able to
I-
participate lit our Commtnity Building Program, The total participation of this,
program wea 5,485, For s detailed breakdown on sttendance in the program see
