This neighborhood needs a playground

Point State Park is one of Downtown's greatest assets! A big green open space to run around, read a good book, play sports, have a picnic - the possibilities are endless. It's also a great draw for visiting families. My friends often ask me "Where do you take your kid to play?" When I mention PSP, they ask if there's a playground. Most major city parks have some sort of play structure for kids, and even most minor ones. Where is ours? There's certainly enough space for one. A playground with a fence around it would be a HUGE draw for families! A safe, enclosed place for kids to play would be a big boost for families thinking of Downtown as a viable living option. If you build it, they will come! My kid is a little small to really care about this sort of thing yet, but in a year this could become problematic.
