Wash Park is, for me, an oasis in the middle of what is often an incredibly frantic, stressful world (particularly these days, given the current economic situation!). It is the place I can go to just be in nature, and at the same time be in my community. Part of what makes it such an oasis is that it is a “commercial free” zone; for me, bringing advertising to the park will change that, because it is bringing that which I am trying to get AWAY from right into the park (ah, is there no where where we are free from advertising??).

And while I very much appreciate the point Scott made (about not liking it when those PVC tubes are empty), I really do feel that those of us who use the park should be the ones to take care of it (whether that’s through stocking the tubes or, even better, bring our own bags!). I think we already do a really great job of this (I rarely see poo on the ground in Wash Park). And personally, I’d much prefer the PVC tubes over advertising in the park.

Thank you!
