Common Council resolutions and reports began to be organized by a numbering system in Dec. 1932. Before that time the resolutions were kept folded up in chronological order, roughly by subject or Council committee (such as Parks, Judiciary, Fire, Police, etc.). This set of pre-1932 resolutions represents those labeled as Parks.

The resolutions consist generally of expenditures, land acquisition proposals, maintenance of parks and boulevard trees, and items relating to parks (comfort stations, tennis courts, ice skating rinks, etc.), mainly dating from 1900-1932. Not all parks are represented in these Council files. The parks best represented are Cameron, Copeland, Myrick, Powell, and Riverside.
