We use to work but now we enjoy taking our grandson to the park. He likes the small swings and the grasshopper best of all. Thank you Escambia County for making this possible. My husband worked under the Escambia County Commissioners for 35 years and we are greatful to see some of our tax monies at work.

I like the park. We have taken our kids several times and yes my husband and I both have jobs. People are griping because of the money that was spent on this park and then want to turn around and complain about it not having bathrooms, but then they would have to pay someone to clean them and I’m sure you all would gripe about that too. If it does not measure up to your standards, stay home.

Its a park. Not a rest area. Try to see the difference.

Isn’t it strange that no matter what there is, there is always someone who complains! If there were potties there, there would still be someone to complain. Some folks are never satisfied no matter what.

>>>I wonder how many people that use these parks actually have a job.

I use this park, and I have a job. In fact, this story was written while I sat at the park and enjoyed watching my children play. I can sit in the park and work the same time.

(A side note here for anyone with a Verizon/Alltel aircard for the their laptop — the tower next to the park is a Verizon tower, so your internet works great!)

I work for a living. Don’t have time to waste at a park. It is work, clean, fix meals and do activities with my family late in evening at home. I work to pay the bills. Just think, if other folks would quit complaining of what the want from the government, be frugal with their money they too would not have time in the day to go play at a park. I might have more money in my pocket so I can spend more time with my family. Make your own little park in your own back yard. Quit demanding MORE. SOUNDS SO SELFISH. But that is this generations, isn’t it? I wonder how many people that use these parks actually have a job.

I see plenty of toilets in the background, they are located directly behind those trees and bushes. Some times you gotta go commando.

A lighted park with port-o-potties would be great. And to be happy with what we get… We pay a lot more and have a lot less in our neck of the woods so… To just be happy and smile for the crumbs they give is … I Don’t Think So!

We don’t even have any local public transportation in the north end .. No way for folks , who need public transportation , to get to local doctors, or to get to the bus. Our county needs to run little shuttle buses like Esc Cty Al does. Makes sense to me and a much better use of tax dollars that I see being used up our way!

What’s all this about toilets? The additional costs of such would probably have made it not feasible to build. Be thankful for what you did get. If someone gives you a new car with no air conditioning, would you refuse to accept it for that reason alone? If this park doesn’t measure up to your standards then don’t go there.
