The ninth annual report of the Park Commissioners for the city of Minneapolis includes the rules for the Board of Park Commissioners and descriptions of the acquisition of land to enlarge parks such as Powderhorn, Lake Harriet and Minnehaha Parkway. 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."
