Quote by Walt Disney, from a memo describ
The main village, which includes the Railroad station, is built around a village green or informal park. In the park will be benches, a bandstand, drinking fountain, trees, and shrubs. It will be a place for people to sit and rest; mothers and grandmothers can watch over small children at play. I want it to be very relaxing, cool, and inviting. Around the park will be built the town. At one end will be the Railroad Station; at the other end, the Town Hall. The Hall will be built to represent a Town Hall, but actually we will use it as our administration building. It will be the headquarters of the entire project. Adjoining the Town hall will be the Fire and Police Stations. The Fire Station will contain practical fire apparatus, scaled down. The police station will also be put to practical use. Here the visitors will report all violations, lost articles, lost kids, etc. In it we could have a little jail where the kids could look in. We might even have characters in it.
Summary
This quote describes the vision for a main village with a central park, envisioned as a relaxing and inviting place for people to sit and rest. The park will feature benches, a bandstand, drinking fountain, trees, and shrubs. Surrounding the park will be the town, with the Railroad Station on one end and the Town Hall on the other. The Town Hall, although designed to resemble a traditional Town Hall, will actually serve as the administration building for the entire project. The Fire and Police Stations will be located near the Town Hall, with practical uses such as housing fire apparatus and serving as a place for visitors to report violations or lost items.
