parks

When we moved to our neighborhood a few years ago, there was a well-used empty lot on Jammes Road that seemed to be a local congregation spot.  We always saw cars parked in a circle, with (usually) older gentlemen sitting around talking and laughing, generally having a great time.  Of course, they were sitting on their car trunks, or truck tailgates, because there was nothing to sit on, being just an empty lot full of trees.  On colder days, someone brought a metal barrel to have a fire in, which always got cleaned up afterwards.  The men always seemed to be enjoying themselves, though.

Hey users, let's hit this one out of the park: 

We want to know how you feel about the parks in your part of Jacksonville. Are there enough? Are they big enough? Is there enough to do in them, or do they need more programs and equipment? What about maintenance and cleanliness? Be specific about what's needed and where.

Give us your thoughts and let's get some real feedback and ideas generated that might help where help is needed - and give a shout-out where one is needed as well.
