Unfortunately, there is no local multi-purpose, kid-safe park in our area suitable for games and family play. The nearest of these are either in the Valley or in Hollywood and West Hollywood. On this count, we should be aware that Los Angeles ranks near the bottom of US cities in terms of access per capita of multi-purpose parks. All parks in Los Angeles are currently over used, and playing fields are especially short in number. Sadly, for the thousands
of kids who grow up in our hillside communities, there is no safe place
to toss a ball or learn how to ride a bike. For that parents must burn
gas and fight traffic for twenty minutes to get to the nearest and crowded
multi-purpose park. Even Wonderland School with an enrollment of over
400 students does not have a playing field. Only two small paved yards. |
