Red Oak Park is narrow and wooded with an opening at its SE corner. The woods catch water from houses and streets upstream. The watershed used to be wetland prairie. Its concrete streets and storm drains dump into the park and cause flash floods during rain, eroding soil and creating a ditch-like stream and leaving tree roots bare. The Park Division of Fayetteville, Arkansas, is trying to find a way to protect the mature hardwood trees in the park and make the space safer and more accessible.

This is incredible. I live in the neighborhood but have never understood much about that park. This google thing was OK until I accidentally moved my cursor and it moved. I tried to re-center it and pushed it the wrong way and got further out of the neighborhood.
Then I decided to go with the flow and found myself looking at the mall. So I changed directions and went downtown. This morning I have "driven" the map with my cursor and visited Beaver Lake.
Tonight I may sit down and visit London or Bagdad with my new toy.
You may not get the neighbors to cooperate with your ambitious plan for a community effort to save the park but you have given me hope of seeing the world Free from my study room!
