Abstract
This paper revisits the historical incident of the Myers Park experiment and the park's infant and youth-related facilities. The idea of youthfulness circulates at every level. Pre-dating the park, various organizations concerned with the welfare of women and children, including churches and a creche, occupied buildings in the vicinity. Following the opening of the park, a kindergarten, a school for 'backward children' and a children's playground were incorporated into it. Later, a YWCA headquarters (1918) and hostel (1928), a Salvation Army Congress Hall (1928) and a Jewish college (1960s) would flank and overlook the park.
