synopsis
In 1916 the Olmsted Brothers prepared a report on a Park System at Niagara Falls. It provided guidance on the proposed growth of Niagara Falls and made recommendations for classes of parks to incorporate. The report also noted limitations the park commission would face such as lack of funding, no favoring laws, and lack of foresight.
