Modern Public Gardens: Robert Royston and the Suburban Park. by ROYSTON. Rainey, Reuben and JC Miller. : William Stout Architectural Books : Books on architecture, art, urban planning, graphic and industrial design, furniture and interior design, and landscape architecture.

Among the most innovative and influential of Royston's office's works were a series of suburban parks in San Francisco and on the Peninsula. These designs were insightful in their understanding of sociology, play, and the postwar suburban landscape. Much has been written on the urban park, but virtually nothing on the suburban park. While almost completely unknown today, Royston's parks offered one of the most socially successful landscape typologies to mid-century northern California.
