Park Life

Overflowing bins and rotted pieces of graffitied wood all around me suggests that this isn’t a nice place to stay. There’s grass and trees and open spaces but beyond that is a main road behind a hedge where people chuck their litter as they pass. It looks like the council have given up any efforts to keep the area maintained. Maybe they’ve been exhausted by vandalism efforts or they’ve cut corners to make savings elsewhere. It’d be nice to be in an area that people pass through regularly to observe our fellow kin. It’d be nice to see some seasonal flowers in bloom or a statue rather than a bricked monument which is easier to deface because it’s a flat surface. They could then colour it in for you. Make it robust on a quality pedestal so that they won’t be able to knock its block off or smash it to the ground. Perhaps it could involve play equipment to encourage people to climb on it and use it rather than abuse it. But get it wrong and just one small injury could lead to a huge lawsuit and further draining of funds.
