Parks can play an important role in the urban landscape. Beyond typical recreational uses, urban parks offer people a refuge from city life, a place where they can relax and get away, socialize, and be in contact with nature. At the same time, urban parks can be the focal point of their surrounding community. Whether a venue for stewardship activities or cultural fairs, a park can help bring a community together and strengthen its identity.
The contribution a park makes to its community, however, is only as great as the community

How much money do you think it would take to make that an active recreational spot?
Gaffney has ignored my requests. Just one more city council cycle ( 10 days out) and this opportunity is lost forever.
