Fresno needs more park space

If Fresno is the largest city in the Valley, then why don’t we have more parks?

We need more parks so that we can have soccer games, baseball/softball games and for exercise. People nowadays don’t get enough exercise, and I wonder if it’s because we don’t have enough parks around their houses for them to go to or if they’re just really lazy.

No matter the issue, the people who do like going to parks with their animals, I’m sure, would like a park closer to them not have to go out of their way. We need to get people together to have a donation day and all the proceeds will go to make Fresno a more park place.
