When interviewed, most individuals were content with the condition and variety of the fields available to them because of their purpose for using the park. However, the respondents indicated a high need for restroom, tennis courts, and basketball courts improvements. Interestingly, 61% of the respondents felt that their park was similar to other community parks.

Walljasper delivers this message in an assertive tone to Americans who may care or who may not be aware of the necessity of parks because he believes those facilities…
