The fence of the grounds will be moved back to the top of the hill on Fifteenth street, and the low ground filled up and leveled off. The restaurant will be in the northeast corner, and the place where it now stands will be occupied by a pavilion. The reporter’s stand will be enlarged, as it should be, and made weather proof on top. The ladies’ pavilion should be separated from that occupied by the male sex by a board partition, which would no doubt make it very popular. Philadelphia City Item March 5, 1870

A high board fence will be built on Columbia avenue to the lane at the eastern section of the ground, and thence along the lane to Montgomery avenue, thus effectually cutting off the view of the multitudes who were accustomed to assemble outside the ground. Philadelphia City Item April 2, 1870
