Being a dog owner myself‚ I encourage all city officials to consider the development of dog parks for their residents. The ability to utilize a dog park in my local city has not only allowed my dog to maintain a healthy lifestyle‚ but it’s also allowed me to enjoy the outdoors with my best friend‚ while creating new friends in the process. I find this type of recreation more enjoyable and healthy for all involved‚ as opposed to being stuck indoors trying to entertain or please a bored canine. Taking

Philadelphia that I chose to travel to was Penn Treaty Park. When I was much younger my mother took my brother and I to that park to ride our bikes.

good thing. While I was reading several articles about Rosa Parks I have noticed that in every article that I read have some sort of bias in them. Throughout the articles‚ the authors show several points of bias within their background‚ point of view‚ and purpose.

Woodruff Park Woodruff Park is a well-known area of the people that frequently roam around downtown Atlanta. Whether it be for work‚ school‚ or people who just live around it. What is the purpose of Woodruff Park? When I initially observed the area I believed the area served little to no purpose‚ except for the people who lived around the park. However‚ I observed the area with my class for the first time two weeks ago and again two times last week. These three times I observed the area very closely

The Mother of the Civil Rights Movement Rosa Parks is one of the most famous people in the history of the American Civil Rights movement‚ for her refusal to “move to the back of the bus” on December 1‚ 1955. Although her moment of protest was not a planned event ‚ it certainly proved to be a momentous one. The nature of Rosa Park’s protest‚ the response of the authorities of Montgomery‚ the tactics adopted by the civil rights leaders in Montgomery‚ and the role eventually played by Federal authority

Parks and other protected areas of both Canada and the United States are very important to both of them. Parks in both of these places are there for the public to enjoy.
