Walking past a public park is like walking through a zoo. You could feel the energy these kids have. The noise, the excitement, and the laughter in these kids are extraordinary. You will never see the joy on a kids face once they are in the park. Even the ice cream truck cant get the kids attention. Why is the slide or swing so enjoyable to a kid. I was once a kid and I still don't know why I enjoyed it. It's just a relationship that just happens between a child and a public park. Public parks are a fun, relaxing and enjoyable place for a kid, until its time to go home. I had gone to Equity Park, a public park, that's located in 89 Ave at 90st Queens, New York. IT a huge park with 2 other big files around it. There is also a elementary school, …show more content…
She has been in this area for about 30 years. I asked her a few question about how the park makes her child feels. The answer was right on her kid's face, exciting. She hated the park because her kid never wanted to leave. She remembers once that when left her kid stay there as long as he wants, the kid named is David, still didn't want to leave. She had to stay up all night hearing him yell and shout and even have to be more cautious because he was trying to sneak out to go there. IT was a nightmare. Martinez gets very stressed and frustrated because it's now almost every day that the same nightmare happens. She has to force him out the park by picking him and even grabbing him out. The park was a kids teddy bear that he or she wouldn't let go. I asked her if her child ever left the park with no problem, but she said “NO, I don't think that will ever happen’. Looking around I see that one woman that has her kid under control. I came up to her, her name was Jasmin Singing. I asked, “how did you manage to control your kid”? Her answer, “ He knows the punishment he will get if he doesn't leave”. Her kid loves the park, he cries when he leaves the park. Jasmin told me once she tried to take her son home but the boy kept running away from her.He was resisting.It took her two hours to finally get her kid. She feels as if the park gives out this strong relationship with kids. Regardless of most of the kids leaving after an hour or two, there are some kids that stay there until its dark. The connection is strong. I noticed all of these problems when I was spectating the park. It was unbelievable. When I asked both of them why do they bring their kids to the park they both said the same answer “Because they don't want their kids to be trapped inside the

The National Park Service is a United States federal government agency that manages all of the United States national parks and many national monuments. In addition to the parks and monuments the National Park Service manages other conservation and historical properties throughout the country. The National Park Service is tasked with preserving the historical and ecological integrity of the properties it is in charge of managing, as well as making sure these properties are available for full public use.
There should be no man made machinery operating in the park unless absolutely necessary. The creation of the National Park Service is to preserve wilderness in a way that gives people the opportunity to experience nature in all its wonder. It was never intended to create amusement parks where people never leave the safety of the modern age and look at the natural world through glass. Being completely enveloped in nature has many benefits, from physical such as lowering blood pressure, to psychological in boosting moods. According to Tyler Tapps in Parks & Recreation: “Recent research indicates that outdoor activity is associated with positive mental and physical benefits, including increased cardiovascular function, decreased stress levels, and reduced blood pressure” (Tapps). Abbey understood this, as did many Americans. Today however the number of people willing to immerse themselves in the nations parks is decreasing. In Desert Solitaire, abbey puts it this way: “A man on foot, on horseback or on a bicycle will see more, feel more, enjoy more in one mile than the motorized tourist can in a hundred miles” (Abbey). Today many members of the younger generation have lost that sense of joy and wonder in the outdoor setting. This change would bring back the love of nature in this
It was a small field in between two houses with some woods out behind the fence. The worn down grass showed the base paths, my mom's old rug squares for bases, and the home plate was made out of wood and painted white. These were all the things we used to make this old field our baseball park. During our endless games we sure felt like we were playing on a real field.
The more than four hundred locations that are currently recognized as national parks have been set aside because they are considered special places of beauty, character, or uniqueness. Whether visitors come from the natural state or the concrete jungle, the magnificent aesthetics of these sites can cause anyone to be astonished. As they ponder on the wonderful landscapes and the closeness to the wilderness, their souls are nourished. Some people acknowledge the planet or the creator, but all appreciate the splendor of biodiversity and gain a new understanding of it. According to Frye and Nuest, “watching other species and interacting with them helps [people] better understand and appreciate [their] place among them and [their] obligations to other living creatures and the same planetary environment that sustain both [their and the lives of other species]” (54). Furthermore, since these sites have been carefully preserved, they have undergone very little physical or geological change in centuries. The NPS claimed through its website that “by preserving biodiversity, [they] also ensure that future citizens, artists, and explorers of science experience [America’s] lands as the founders of the parks did long ago.” National parks allow visitors to relive scenes from the past and appreciate the nation’s history as expressed in these iconic sites. However,
The documentary “The National Parks- America’s Best Idea” explained the history of national parks and how they came to be. Monuments, battlefields, and military parks were transferred to become national parks. Though they weren’t what they are now at first, they seemed a lot like zoos, focusing on tameness and less on wildness. There is an abundance of life in the national parks, and George Wright tried to let everyone know the equilibrium was out. People were getting in the way of the plants and animals, instead of letting the plants and animals thrive on their own. Each of these species, including the predators should be protected. He saved the trumpeter swans.

My favorite place as a child was County Park Lake. When we had family picnics because we all got together and there was great food and kids playing and the adults playing horse-shoes and could tell there was love for one another. There was no other place like this when I was a child. Some of my fondest memories was at that picnic site we should all have memories likes those.
