Anyone
who
likes
the
park
now
doesn't
know
what
it
was
like
prior
to
this
"upgrade".
It
was
so
much
better
with
the
old
play
structure
and
open
hill
for
sledding
in
the
winter.
Now
the
best
parts
for
sledding
are
covered
by
trees,
which
are
great
for
the
environment
but
would've
better
been
planted
in
other
unused
parts
of
this
large
park.
This
park
is
now
fun
for
young
kids,
but
not
so
great
for
bigger,
active
ones.
Having
grown
up
here
and
also
bringing
other
generations
of
kids
to
this
park,
that
is
our
experience.
It
could
also
have
have
helped
lead
younger
families
to
choose
other
nearby
neighborhoods
to
live,
hence
the
closing
of
Leslie
Park
public
school,
which
used
to
be
over
capacity
enough
to
have
portables.
While
it's
currently
rented
to
the
French
board,
it
only
has
130
students,
who
are
primarily
bused
in
and
won't
use
the
park
much,
according
to
a
family
I
spoke
with
whose
children
now
attend
the
school.
Having
this
upgrade
to
the
park
is
why
we
now
see
the
bigger
kids
playing
in
the
street,
instead
of
at
the
park
where
we
spent
a
significant
amount
of
time
having
so
much
fun
while
growing
up.
It's
sad
to
see
what's
become
of
a
formerly
great
place.
Other
nearby
parks
have
been
updated
with
more
modern
play
structures
without
such
significant
changes.
