The next and most important work was the arrangement of trees and shrub- bery. Since the chief goal of the designer was naturalness, Mr. Shurtleff deliber- ately avoided a formal or symmetrical arrangement of the trees. Trees were planted only where shade was needed and in places where they would seem to have been placed by nature. Although many imported trees were available to the designers, their use in the park was deliberately avoided as was the use of cultivated flowers. Common New England trees such as the oak, ash, elm, and maple were planted, In like manner natural plants-such as white daisies, joe Pye-weed, Queen Anne's lace, steeple bush, and field lilies-were planted. Through the years many improvements have taken place in the park. Ball fields have been laid out, tennis courts constructedg drinking fountains installedg and benches have been scattered throughout the area. Today there are four beautiful stone entrances. Recently the VV are Lion's Club built in the park at great expense a picturesque, ultra-modern bandstand. This beautiful edihce stands just above the tennis courts against a background of woods. In 1911 the park was the site of the one hundred fiftieth anniversary of the incorporation of the town of NfVare. It is interesting to note -that at this time and in honor of this occasion the Reverend Arthur Chase's History of Vtfaren was written. Two years ago the park was also the scene of the Vlfelcome Home Celebration for all local veterans of VVorld VV ar H. Not only have Grenville Park's beauty and utility helped to make the lives of the natives of VVare a little richer and fuller, but those who have come to visit our town also appreciate its blessings. In the days before World VV ar I1 a world traveler, passing through VV are, chanced to drive through Grenville Park. His comment was that he had never seen in his travels elsewhere a finer park in an industrial community of the size of our town. Sylvester Baxter in an article in the Boston Transcript on New England memorial parks says these things of Grenville Park: f'Here in' Massachusetts in the busy manufacturing town of VV are is to be found the most notable instance of a public park established as a memorial-a park donated by the Gilberts to assure their home town a lastingly beautiful environment of practical utility and an inexhaustible source of recreation and health on a site where natural beauty lies in abundance.
