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.

Nice photos. Keep up coming
Keep up coming? Did you mean keep them cooming?
He has plenty of photos. I watched them as a slide show and then clicked on a few to enlarge on my screen. There are some scary spots in that big ditch. I wouldn't stay there if it started raining!
It would be nice if we could keep the water upstream and keep the trees standing in the park. And we could plant a lot of wildflowers in there and make it as pretty as anywhere in town.
Well, pictures won't get the cooperation of the neighbors and the city. You guys will have to go one-on-one with people to get them to cooperate in saving that park. It is obvious the park officials and council members want to do SOMETHING so they can say they tried.
