Many parks (green spaces) within cities amount to wasted space that should be developed. A proper survey of their usage would show us this, yet I've never seen or heard of anyone monitoring green space usage.

The cost to maintain under used green spaces is a burden property taxpayers shouldn't have to shoulder.

In many cases it would be better if we partnered with school boards in the creation of parks on school property. The green space schools create could double as parks. This would ensure that green space usage is maximized.
