53. The Story of W.P.A. and Other Federal Aid Projects in the Minneapolis Parks, Parkways and Playgrounds, for the Year 1936, Minneapolis, Minnesota

Creator:
Minneapolis Board of Park Commissioners (Minneapolis, Minnesota)
Date Created:
1936
Description:
This typescript, with photographs pasted in, compiles the activities undertaken in Minneapolis parks in 1936. A note indicates that the photographs and compilation were by Walter B. Dahlberg. Many of the projects involve the building of walls and roads, but also included are the design and creation of concrete runways at the Minneapolis Municipal Airport, and an ""amazingly successful experiment in recreational dramatics"" which involved a troupe presenting plays in parks, playgrounds and public institutions. In the fall of 1933, the United States government inaugurated a program of federal work relief for the unemployed. The purpose of this program was two-fold: to provide work for the unemployed, and to initiate and support useful public projects round the country. The Minneapolis Park Board was included under this program. Beginning under the Civil Works Administration and the Emergency Relief Administration, and continuing under the Works Progress Administration many rehabilitation and improvement projects were undertaken in Minneapolis parks. This report references "Lake Calhoun," a Minneapolis lake now known as Bde Maka Ska, the Dakota language for "White Earth Lake."
