“They’re looking to change/improve the parks in the downtown area and are asking for public input!”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I wanted to share this survey I found floating around on social media. They’re looking to change/improve the parks in the downtown area and are asking for public input! I’m hoping people can find this so we ensure the future of the parks actually reflect what residents want! Here is the survey.

I’d recommend taking it on a computer if possible as there are a bunch of images to compare.”
