Parks

Becky:

You say you care?

Do you really?

Do you really care about our city parks?

If you really did, you would find your way down to Lions park to survey it's state of existence. It is not the park that is closest to me (that would be Vista Hills). So, I do not have any sort of vested interest in it's repair other than the fact that the people in that neighborhood deserve better.

Unfortunately, had you lived in the neighborhood served by Lions park, it might get the same attention as a park down the street from you, that being your beloved Wakefield.

When I drive by Lions park, it reminds me of the park that I played in in North Saint Paul when I was growing up. That was more than 30 years ago. Seriously, that's what the equipment looks like. Something from the mid-70s.

So, rebecca, if you really do care, get the map out, and drive south of Larpenter Avenue (no, you don't need a passport to go that far south) down to Lions Park. Take a look and see what you and your fabulous city manager have done to the residents in that neighborhood by taking their previously approved park improvements off of the table in favor of the park in your neighborhood.

Let's see really how much you care about parks...All of our parks!
