Comments on: City unveils Walker Park Historical Mural sign http://www.fayettevilleflyer.com/2012/03/13/walker-park-historical-mural-informational-sign-installed/ News, Art & Life in Fayetteville, Arkansas Tue, 18 Jun 2013 23:45:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Jessica http://www.fayettevilleflyer.com/2012/03/13/walker-park-historical-mural-informational-sign-installed/#comment-58102 Jessica Tue, 20 Mar 2012 18:41:38 +0000 http://www.fayettevilleflyer.com/?p=73338#comment-58102 I completely agree. I never take my kids to Walker Park because I feel more comfortable at other city parks. I understand the neighborhood around Walker Park is lower income, but so are the neighborhoods around Finger Park and Bryce Davis, both of which we go to regularly. The few times we’ve been to Walker Park my kids want to play in the sand volleyball court and I get nervous about what they’ll find. Never felt that way at Wilson Park though. Someone needs to take more of an interest in Walker Park, whether the city or the people that live around it. Parks that are neglected turn into dangerous eyesores.

Walker Park is the largest park in Fayetteville and also the most neglected. The trails in Walker Park are in need of repair, the trails running around the Senior Center need to have the existing vegetation trimmed back on a regular basis. the trails also need to be repaired as they are cracked and unsightly. The park has seen newly planted trees trashed again and again. Do we have anyone who protects the park?

Now if we can only get rid of all of those fat lethargic pigs running around town.

The coca-cola company has done a splendid job of creating a nostalgic air around their corporate logo. Meanwhile they have been a key player in turning our citizens into fat lethargic pigs. We have a sign ordinance for good reason, and to great effect.

Murals that are actual history are painted over. http://www.nwaonline.com/news/2011/jul/06/fading-sign-covered/
