By Tim Gartner Whether you're old or young, the city supplies park and recreation facilities for everyone, according to James Ager, superintendent of parks. Lincoln's 22 operating parks range in size from scenic Pio neer's 610 acres to American Legion park, which is only one and a half acres. Some of the parks serve specific functions, such as playgrounds, while others are aimed at more diversified ac tivities that include all age groups. "But," Ager adds quickly, "the majority of the parks are complete. That is, they have picnic tables, fire places and shelter houses in addition to playground equipment for the children." "Of particular infest to the oldsters might be the beauti ful Sunken Gardens at 27th and D St. or the Rose Garden adjacent to it. Also there is a floral center in Woods Park at 33rd and 0 St. Plants for the floral centers are grown in the Antelope Park nursery. "Our green Jioust grows 150,000 plants each year," Ager said. Of a special Interest to the Antelope and Pioneer park visitors are the animal zoos. Housed at Antelope are the different types of birds, monkeys, and other small ani mals. Water buffalo, llamas, guan acoes, deer, elk, buffalos, and Texas Long Horn cattle, among others, range on the open land of Pioneer Park. Future plans of the park de partment include the comple tion of Children's Zoo, the Antelope Dam Project and im provement of existing facili ties. . The Children's Zoo, which is being financed by private concerns on city proper ty, will enable children to have actual contact with birds and animals.

"This project will cover 400 acres, with 100 acres being the lake. The re maining 300 acres will have complete picnic facilities." The sports-minded individu al has not been overlooked by the city. "For those who like their outdoor activity more vigor ous, the city recreation de partment maintains three swimming pools, 8 tennis sites, Pioneer's 18-hole grass greens golf course and facili ties for ice-skating at the Per s h i n g Auditorium," said Jeames Lewis, superintendent of recreation.
