Your Views: Improving Roswell's Parks

We asked, Roswell Patch readers answered. Monday we asked you how you would improve local park and recreation areas. Here's a sampling of your responses.

 

From the ambitious to the readily achievable, from upscale aspirations to the socially conscious, Roswell residents always offer some interesting and sometimes controversial ideas. Here's what you said in response to this week's Community Agenda survey.

Which parks do you frequent the most in Roswell?

What features and/or activities determine which parks are your favorite?

  • Cycling from RAP and Riverside. Walking and cycling in Big Creek Park, Yoga at ARC - Doug Fallon
  • Lacrosse - Mark
  • Shade in the summer
  • Playgrounds - Bob
  • The pool and trails
  • Cleanliness, safety and activities - JGU

Does Roswell need more park space?

  • No, but we need to have a sting operation and catch the crooks breaking into all the cars. - Chuck Crider
  • No, I think that is an area that Roswell is great at. - JGU
  • Yes
  • Yes, keep adding to the park network. The time to add is now rather than after development. - Doug Fallon
  • No

What park features and/or activities would you like to see added?

  • Playing equipment, greenspace - Bob
