9th Street Children Park Problem

Unfortunately, this impact cannot be managed very effectively or else it means reducing the number of visitors, therefore, decreasing the park’s popularity.

Although there is arguments that playgrounds can be made too safe where they are no fun are made, for the sake of the argument I will focus on the side that wants them really safe. This side of the arguments believes that all schoolyards need to have rules such as to, “Avoid playgrounds with non-impact absorbing surfaces, such as asphalt, concrete, grass, dirt or gravel. Recommended surface materials include: sand, pea gravel, wood chips, mulch and shredded rubber. Rubber mats, synthetic turf and other artificial materials are also safe surfaces and require less maintenance. Surfacing should be at least 12 inches deep and extend at least 6 feet in all directions around stationary equipment. Depending on the height of the equipment, surfacing may need to extend farther than 6 feet. For swings, make sure that the surfacing extends, in the back and front, twice the height of the suspending bar. So if the top of the swing set is 10 feet high, the surfacing should extend 20 feet.” Along with all the regulations and rules, they would hop to also have it well supervised and inspected. They say that qualified personal need to constantly be checking up on the schoolyards and maintaining them. Although this side may have some good reasons about children safety it still may not good developmentally for children if they are not interacting with nature and using their imagination to their

This park isn’t just for the animals either, It's a good way to bring the community together and to enjoy nature (and not look at your phone all day). I have well over 100 hours of volunteer work at the park, helping with charity events, the construction of structures, and caring for some of the animals. I live in a town that has various problems (like every town), and if you live here, you know what I mean. I would like New Richmond to be known more for positive things like the new aviary & wildlife center than for its drug problem. So I go and work down there almost everyday.

While many residents are in support of the formation of the park, there are many people on the other side. Just ask Bill Theriault. He is worried that if Weston puts money to this dog park it will take money away for many

Parents can be free from worrying if there kids are safe because there are safety procedures everywhere. Many of the rides on site have carefully thought out procedures making sure that every rider is safe. The problem of being safe with all rides is that if a ride is considered “broken” they will shut it down. Many riders will be frustrated and leave because lines tend to be long. If a child is missing, the child can go directly with a worker and inform them they are lost. The parents can either ask a worker about their missing child or they can go to the Lost Kids in hospitality. Also, there are several restrictions of items brought into the park. Before entering, everyone is checked. People pass through metal detecting machines while their bags are checked by a worker. As a former visitor, the staff usually take care of things in an appropriate

Many national and state parks have no admission fees, or have a donation based entrance fee. Out of the 509 national parks in the United States, 127 of the most popular parks charge entrance fees daily ranging from $3 to $30 (NPS). It is no secret that these parks and recreation areas have been struggling to maintain a standardized level of maintenance, with some parks having hundreds of millions of dollars in deferred maintenance fees (NPS Deferred Maintenance). But should that burden fall on the typical American citizen in the form of increased entrance fees? Keeping entrance fees at a low cost, or even making them all donation based can help promote outdoor recreation for kids and healthier lifestyles in adults, not to mention that raising prices would close parks for people and families with low income.

Our research site is a local area that is also an abandoned railroad location. Underneath all of the trees, and various grass and weed species, there are plenty of railroad tracks on the ground. The area is currently uninhabited by humans, however, there are many animal species that live there. There are rats, bees, and birds (pigeons) that call this place their home. This site is a large piece of land that is divided into 2 unequal pieces. One proposed development for this site is to transform it into a public park. It would take about 20 years for the development to be completed. However, this could cause a great disturbance, or great improvement to the parameters (interactions, ecosystem services, air quality, water quality, biodiversity,

Building a dog park is a lawsuit waiting to happen. dog owner's getting bittin and smaller children plus the other dog's getting attacked. From my past experience of kids getting attacked leads to the dog getting put down and court date put into play for a on going lawsuit, nobody wont to have there dog put down nor pay out a lot of money.

Today in our community the public parks that we have around some of the parks are being mistreated in being vandalising and not trying to keep it clean for the residents that in the nearby neighborhood and communities. The thing that I discovered was that according San Jose Mercury News “that the city needs the money from residents that live in the city of San Jose to fix up those parks that are being mistreated by some of the residents. Me growing up in the Eastside part of the city of San Jose some of the of the parks that some of my cousins and I use too go to the playgrounds and play but they were all full with writing of tags. That a lot of trouble makers knows as people that would go and vandalise the parks for no reason and would be

Beginning in the late 1800’s, efforts to protect scenic and untouched land all across America were set in motion. From the 1800’s to mid 1900’s, many national parks were created under premises of preserving history and nature. During that period of time, Franklin Delano Roosevelt branched the National Parks Service (NPS) to manage all national parks. Now, in the current day, biological problems and resource scarcity persistently cause harm to the parks, and make it difficult for both the NPS and park management to regulate the parks. As such, current measures to ensure the longevity and well-being of the parks are not enough to keep up with the persisting financial and biological problems that the parks face. These problems entail disturbances in the ecosystem and pollution to environment, as well as a lack of resources to parks. However, each of these problems can be remedied, and possibly cured through the use of comprehensive models of action, and the participation of several parties.

Everyone loves a great hike, or a great walk through a park. Having a place to go to in order to see the natural world is important to making sure ecosystems are not too terribly interrupted. Neighborhood parks, city parks, and national parks are lovely places to go and enjoy nature. National parks all over the world each serve a purpose: to preserve the world in its natural state without any outside force interferring. This may not always be the case. National parks, especially overseas, are changed, defunded, moved, or even vandalized all the time. People who live or come from areas with certain national parks create attachments, and hate to see their places crumble. Without these parks, the world would lose many of its

This is why I believe that every community should have an empty land. No matter how small or big the town or city. I believe an empty land is better suited for children than any playground. There’s a reason why we called this land, “our land.” For one thing, we designed this land, we gave it shape, we built hills, houses, and streets. Our land gave us a chance to use our imagination. Empty land could be designed to children and much more, to the whole population. Empty land gives humans a chance for experience freedom, and it is also a reminder that adventure is needed in order to grow. Empty land changed my friends and my childhood, it can also change yours - if you are willing to have empty land behind your

Something else that can also be considered as you mentioned hoodlums or drug peddlers being an issue is to form social groups to walk the park and become a strong presence in the community. If unwarrent behavior becomes an issue then it is the community responsibility to take action to drive these people out. Social connectedness in a community of having the feeling of protecting those in the community by keeping un wanted behavior out is one way to increase the feeling of safety, promote good health, and reduce any illeageal

If one were to ask a group of people about the importance of public spaces they would probably tell you it’s a place to relax and socialize. Most people including myself before reading Rethinking Urban Parks would not know about the complex social and political factors that influence public spaces. The public spaces are essential for making sure that people of different races, genders, and class interact on a daily basis. The increased privatization of public spaces leads to less interaction of people other than one’s self. People are less likely to be prejudice towards a group of people if they interact with them. It’s not surprising that the views of people in power are seen as superior to the poor. Limiting access to parks for poor people

Urban parks are defined in their comparative and contrastive relationships to the urban environments surrounding them. Although frequently conceptualized as natural landscapes, the physical and social uses of parks give
