On Common Ground is a book written by Sydney H. Preston that explores the history and evolution of public parks in the United States. The book begins by examining the origins of public parks and their role in promoting health and social cohesion in urban communities. It then traces the development of public parks over time, from the early days of the park movement in the late 19th century to the present day.Throughout the book, Preston highlights the challenges and controversies that have arisen in the creation and maintenance of public parks, including issues related to funding, management, and access. He also examines the various ways in which public parks have been used and enjoyed by different groups of people, from families and children to athletes and nature enthusiasts.Ultimately, On Common Ground offers a comprehensive and insightful look at the importance of public parks in American society, and the ongoing efforts to ensure that these vital resources are accessible and available to all.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
