Library

Designed by Mr F Broadbent, and attached to the main school building, the school library was opened on the 10th May 1934. It was panelled and finished in English oak, by the craftsmen of Robert Thompson of Kilburn, ‘the Mouse Man’. A contemporary press report said, ‘in its beauty of design, and the care with which the old English oak has been carved into panels, the library might belong to a country house; in its completeness it is worthy of a University’.

402 Park Access and Schools in Los Angeles by State Assembly District

There is no “correct” distance to evaluate fair access to parks.
The optimal distance depends on the needs of the community, the type of park, and access to cars and transit. Map 402 shows the areas in Los Angeles that lie more than half a mile from the nearest park, but any distance in the abstract can be arbitrary and misleading – half mile or quarter mile access, walking distance, driving distance, etc.
The important concern is not distance alone but whether the park and recreation programs meet the needs of the community. If physical activity is a goal, for example, people can get physically active by walking half a mile or a mile to the park. With the shared use of parks and schools, the relevant distance is to the park or the school, not one or the other. If residents have access to a car or an affordable and reliable transit system, the distance to the park can be greater. Smaller parks and elementary school playgrounds within walking distance can serve the needs of younger children. Larger parks, and playing fields at middle and high schools, can provide places for physical activity and team sports for older children and adults, and can be within driving or busing rather than walking distance. In a high income community with large house lots, and ready access to cars and places like the Santa Monica Mountains, there is no need for a park within a quarter mile. A pocket park within walking distance may not adequately serve the needs of the community if there is no place to play in the park or any other nearby place. Even a large park may not adequately serve the community if the population and use density is so high that demand exceeds available park space.
The Olmsted Report suggested half a mile or more as a rule of thumb for distance to the park depending on the locality and other factors.
One traditional environmental organization, Trust for Public Land, advocates a park within a quarter mile of each residence, and equates walking distance with a quarter mile, but it is difficult to consider this a serious policy proposal. The quarter mile or walking distance standard obscures the important considerations discussed above. Bus stops in Los Angeles are generally more than a quarter mile from most people. It is unrealistic to expect more parks than bus stops.
