Tropical Park has always been where my heart lies since I was a child. My mother would take me to the park every Sunday until I was a teenager. At this park we would have a picnic and then go to this steep hill at the end of the park and slide down using a cut out cardboard box. I chose to come clean up at this park because it brings me a lot of happy memories about my childhood. This park is absolutely gorgeous. It has a lot of different activities going on daily and even has a space to bring your

It is difficult to picture a city or town without a park or a playground for everyone to enjoy free of charge. This thought is not as far fetched, as some might believe. The massive movement for communities to provide public lands for relaxation, leisure and play has its roots in the Progressive Reforms around the turn of the twentieth century.

Introduction With the rapid growth of the American population and the greater demand for work, large urban areas developed throughout the U.S. landscape. Urbanization, as it is called, is the replacement of the rural areas with more urban ones. Urbanization has impacted human behavior and wildlife as well and most likely won’t be ending anytime soon as humanity continues to push into wildlife habitats. As relative keepers of the environment, humans need to understand the impacts of urbanization

The neighborhood surrounding of Doors Park is not a through street, but a cul-de-sac where cars park along the curve and wrap around to leave the grounds. As one walks towards the park, the landscape is well maintained and free of litter. A latched door and wooden fence enclose the playground area; and structurally, the height of the latch is not reachable for infants or toddlers. On a wooden post positioned to the entrance, a sign states the proper ages for the children and mandatory adult supervision

Scum Frogging at Shakamak Locating bass can sometimes prove to be a futile attempt leaving one to wonder, where did they all go? During one such outing at Shakamak State Park located in Jasonville Indiana. I found myself searching shallow and deep, shade and sun, grass and rock, dead-falls and standing timber for any bass willing to take the bait. I had decided that the bass just were not in a feeding mood but I was. I eased into a cove and pondered my predicament over a cold drink and turkey

area great field stretches out, and ends at the edge of a large lake. There is a light scattering of trees in the field but is quite open. Lake Park is located on Dale Mabry highway in Lutz, Florida. “Florida is home to 160 state parks covering more than 700,000 acres.” (Gall & Antone, 2012). Lake Park is a beautiful, family and pet friendly part of these parks, with lots of activities for the whole family. The breeze whispering through the trees and the sun sparkling of the water of the lakes, makes

Introduction Initially the question of the affects of parks and their various attributes on real estate value may seem an absurd question for an Economic Developer to think about. However, the value of real estate is of prime importance to the community and the Economic Developer due to the nature of land as an appreciating commodity. Therefore it is necessary that we study the possibility that real estate and land values could be modified by the a park. By understanding the consequences of these uses

we benefit from these services since they typically aren’t something we are used to paying for. Still, people benefit from the services offered by ecosystems everyday. Within cities, urban parks can be found throughout the USA. Some are home to forests, wetlands, grasslands, while others are manicured parks where plants and animals have adapted to form novel ecosystems. Nevertheless, measuring the economic value of those services, whether they are from novel or natural has always been a challenge

Women both young and old have found solitude in services that Silverbackks provide. SilverSparkle is another program designed to cater to women, mostly teen girls wishing to go to prom. Silversparkle is a prom closet. Prom dresses are expensive, some girls don’t get to go to prom because they can not afford a dress. That stigma is no longer a problem. Most dresses are only worn once and have a lot of life still left in them. Prom is a big deal, and every girl should get the chance to go and not
