> 
> "More families would enjoy the parks and city children could learn more
> about nature if the Parks Department would provide services that include
> arcades, water slides and child care."
> 
> "A big hotel with a golf course and even a convention center would

> worldwide population growth to limit the number of visitors to the
> wilderness."
> 
> "Trails need to be wider so people can walk while holding ands."
> 
> "All the mile markers are missing this year."
> 
> "We found a smoldering cigarette left by a horse."
> 
> "Many trails need to be reconstructed. Please avoid building ones that
