The third annual report of the Park Commissioners for the city of Minneapolis describes the ten parks and parkways under its care. Included in this report is an argument for public attention to the planting of trees throughout the city, and the commitment of the Board to planting trees in the parks and boulevards under its control, along with data on the numbers and varieties planted. When the Minnesota legislature created the Minneapolis Board of Park Commissioners in 1883, it required the board to produce an annual report. These reports, which came to be highly prized by libraries and park advocates across the country, provide a vivid and detailed account of the development of one of the world's leading urban park systems. This report references "Lake Calhoun," a Minneapolis lake now known as Bde Maka Ska, the Dakota language for "White Earth Lake."
