Playgrounds and neighborhood
parks operated by the Charlotte
Parks and Recreation Department
have changed their hours of clos
ing. As of May 1, 1985, playgrounds
and neighborhood parks closed at
dark. The other parks in the system
will remain open until 10:30 p.m. All
playgrounds and parks throughout
the system will continue to open at
~8:30 a.m.-—-_
According to Marvin P. Billups
Jr., director of the Charlotte Parks
and Recreation Department, the
affected playgrounds and parks will
not be lit, therefore, “There Is not a
need to keep them open after dark.”
Mr. Billups also indicated that the
earlier closing time of these play
grounds and neighborhood parts is
consistent with a park master plan
study made in 1901 by Harland
Bartholomew. The Bartholomew
study classified parks by un and
amount of acreage and made re
commendations based on its find
ings. The 61 parks affected by the
change of dosing time are all under
30 acres, with several exceptions.
