This might be an unpopular opinion but I feel like public parks should have less parking or smaller parking lots. Having a big lot destroys the very nature people are coming to enjoy. I’ve also noticed it leads to people just driving to the park and not even getting out of their cars. I’ve seen so many people just eating lunch in their cars by themselves, it’s so sad.

    Do you want to get rid of public parks, because that’s how you get rid of public parks. Lol

    I’m in rural West Virginia/Eastern Kentucky. If people couldn’t drive and park at Parks, there’d be no park traffic. Like, the parks here, no one would be there as there’s no other mode of transportation that’s viable. No public transport, way too damn far to walk/run/bike and I’m sure not getting my boat out to go down the river to the local park.

    Also, I frequently take my spinning wheels to the park to spin with a few other people. I’m not packing a 20 pound spinning wheel and a mound of wool with my spinning accessories a country mile to the park lol. People do go there for other reasons than to sit and look at an overweight squirrel gorging itself on a bag of salted peanuts someone left it.
