-Public, I mean there aren’t guards or anything

-Maybe once a week

-Hangout with friends or to skate the playground if it’s empty

-It’s an okay place. It’s nothing special so I guess technically no it isn’t successful for skating.

-Public, but mostly for the locals

-Once a week

-Bring my daughter to the playground and to walk our dog with her

-Walk, I live up the road

-Yes, it’s a nice park to just come to for an hour or so. Much better in the summer however.

-To play with my brother and sister on the playground

-Drive in my mom’s car

Gene, 58:

-Public

-I’m actually just passing through this one time. I’m just visiting a relative for the weekend and this place looked interesting.

-To walk I would say

-Walking

-Other than the graffiti inn many places I would say it’s a decent place to stroll through every now and then.
