You should have built the multiple floor developments!!!! Wasting land!!! Build up!!!!!!
I still maintain that it’s great for Indy Parks to acquire more park land, but only if they’re able to care for it. Right now, their budgets don’t permit them to care for the parks they have in a responsible way that makes the lands useful.
Only overseeing and maintaining part of a property and being able to mow a large park twice or three times a year is not responsible care.
I agree. Almost all of the parks are in really bad shape right now. Trash everywhere, trails not being maintained and just a lack of maintenance has caused many of the parks to just look abandoned.
Hasn’t parks been saying for at least the last eight years that they cannot maintain what they had?
Yes, but that doesn’t mean neighborhoods that are short on park space need to suffer. Increase the parks budget—take the money from something else or raise taxes. Whenever the Colts or Pacers or Lilly (or some other big corp) wants something the city and state gladly move heaven and hell to “find” the money for it. So, it is time to “find” some of this magic money for the residents of the city.
I see many of our existing parks that are under utilized.
That’s great, and also irrelevant. The acreage is being added to growing neighborhoods where there has long been a demand for more park space.
Kudos to Indy Parks for these new additions. Preserving green space, whether by municipal acquisition or by private funding is the most important aspect. Land is finite. Once it’s paved over for a parking lot, we have lost an invaluable resource. The next step is for the citizens and councilors to recognize that we must allocate tax dollars to the maintenance of those properties. We all benefit.
You do realize pavement can be removed?
Parks are not underutilized! Parks are not for people only. They are habitat for pollinators like butterfly and moth species, and other beneficial insects. These are also bird food. The increasing lack of insects is depleting the number of song birds. Which are also food for other wildlife. It’s a chain so to speak, or a web. And we are at the top of it. When it collapses , we go too, so increasing habitat by reserving land for parks with much “less maintained” areas is utilizing it for a healthy balance with nature.
