What ballard needs is a model, permacultural practice playground, some place with a real creative small group design that will help open the door to families on how to manage your daily waste in a way that doesnt ship it across the state, how to feed your soils so they can feed you if need be, a long term creative investment ahead of it's time so when it's time is called on there won't be a hasted minute to throw the bone to the hungry dogs.

Think along the terms of the future's reality, we don't need another stinkin park that is nooked away in hedge rows for the growing homeless tribes to find a use for, lets feed the future.

I love parks, but many parks this spring and summer removed garbage cans. Net result is more garbage on the ground and hanging in plastic bags from the park signs. It means if I see garbage (like broken glass, bottles, fast food packaging) on the ground left by other inconsiderate folk, I must take it home to dispose it .
