The Acton Park

The public place I decided to observe was a park in a little town called Acton. Acton is a small community where I have grown up; there is not much out here at all. The Acton Park is very new to the community, they are actually still building it. Here at this park there are: basketball courts, baseball/softball fields, a play ground, and a lot of open space for any other sort of activity. There are bathrooms, benches, tables, and barbecues for everyone to use. This park is not limited to any one, considering the fact that there are no homeless people in Acton. Out here we don't have a problem with homeless people trying to sleep on the benches. The Acton park is surrounded by a little white picket fence, with a parking lot big enough for ten cars. The park is never over crowded and almost everyone in the community uses it. They have held candle light ceremonies for people of our community we have lost, had movie nights, and have held practices. As I am sitting here the Vasquez High School Varsity softball team is practicing. When I was in High School we used to have Competition Cheer practice here on the open grass. Over the summer the little league football team used the open space for their practice. The park is used by everyone in our community and it is such a safe environment. There is no security or no need for security for that matter. Everyone who is anyone is allowed at the Acton Park.
