Abstract
This study was designed to describe more clearly the services offered public playgrounds and to find a method whereby these services could be portrayed on a statistical reporting form. In making this description, new concepts of the distribution of patrons and leadership staff on a playground were applied. Two playgrounds were compared to see if the concepts did discriminate in a useful way. Results indicated that the addition of data relative to staff services is extremely useful and furnishes a better gauge of services rendered than existing attendance-taking methods.
