After the Parks Bond Referendum failed in November, 2011, I posted the below statement regarding our Parks. Can we PLEASE start a community conversation seeking input from our residents as to what we want to do with our parks and how we want to fund them? Yes, we're getting some new parkspace, and that's wonderful. But what about saying "where to we go from here"? What about Windward Hollow, Perimeter Park and the others? Yes, we don't even have a single public basketball court for our kids to play on. A couple of sand volleyball courts would be too easy to construct. Recently, a friend had a photo taken of her on Facebook. She was sitting on the steps in front of a brick building. The windows were boarded up. There was graffiti on the walls and the exterior of the building was rusted and in disrepair. I HONESTLY thought she was in some run-down desolate inner-city area. But looking at the description, she was in Brook Run park! Would you see someone taking a photo in front of these abandoned, eyesore buildings & sending them to our local publication for a "Where in the World" are you photo op? Would a realtor take a prospective homebuyer into our parks & show them off as they exist today? Yes, we do have some nice features to display -- IF you squint & keep a narrow field of vision. The annual household income of Dunwoody is over $80,000. That's DOUBLE the state's average. I pay more for garbage pickup than I do in City property taxes. I'm willing to fork over another $40-50 per year to INVEST in our parks, to make all of them a source of PRIDE for our community, and for prospective residents & businesses to see these & say, "yes, this is an even better place to live". What was that mantra for our incorporation again? -- Oh yeah: Parks, Police & Paving. Let's start the conversation.
