Article—"The Park System of Kansas City, MO." by George B. Ford

The Architectural Record, Volume XL, Number VI, December, 1916.

"Kansas City, Missouri has developed the most extensive park system in the country for a city of its size, and the system is being continued farther and farther afield."

"Although the parks have cost a large sum of money, about $15,000,000 almost all of which has been paid for by the property owners benefited, the taxpayer, and even the real estate operator, not only does not object, but is continually asking for more. The reason they give for wanting the parks is that they have found that the parks lend tone and character to the part of the town in which they lie."
