Why urban parks are so important
Hood River is surrounded by nature, and offers plenty of outdoor activities to local citizens. So why do we care so much about small city parks? Are they really that important? Yes, they are, and for many reasons!
The Parks & Rec Department surveyed hundreds of city residents last year, and "97% said that local parks, recreation options, and open space opportunities are important or essential to the quality of life in the Hood River Valley." Our county parks are already at risk with fundraisers taking place to help them stay open. We want to protect our city parks, keep the ones we have, and hopefully protect all the ones we will develop for our future generations that live in Hood River. |
