      The Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board has posted on its Web
site an overview of the histories of its park properties.


      The compilation is called "Parks, Lakes, Trails and So Much
More." It contains profiles of each of the 182 park properties in
the Minneapolis park system. It includes everything from tiny
Chowden Park to 740-acre Wirth Park.


      Author David C. Smith researched and wrote the histories. Smith
also wrote the book "City of Parks," commissioned for the
Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board's 125th anniversary in 2008.
