Pictured here is a scene I’m sure we are all familiar with, Madison Square Park. I have always enjoyed going to this park for a breath of fresh air and to relax however, the lawns are never open for me to enjoy. Being located in the center of Midtown Manhattan, Madison Square Park experiences a tremendous amount of foot traffic. As a result, NYC parks is forced to periodically restrict the public from using the lawns so that the grass can regrow. Even with the immense number of public parks in the city, it amazes me that Madison Square still gets so many visitors that it seems the lawns are always run down to a muddy pulp.
I agree with you on this one. Parks are meant to give us a sort of oasis away from the concrete jungle, and how does the city expect us to experience this with no available grass to run through?
