About Paseo 625
The Paseo Neighborhood Association is excited to share our plans to build a park in the neighborhood! Although we are in the early phases of planning, our desire is to engage our community, neighborhood and especially, the children who will benefit massively from Paseo's first and only playground. If you are interested in volunteering, donating or offering helpful advice, good news! There is much to do and we want you on our team!


You can vote once per day!

Who owns that land?

Isn't KaBoom the charity that ended up being a scam on Parks & Recreation?

It was the real charity they promoted at the end of the episode.

Nooo.. I watched it again.. that was definitely the same charity.. here's a quote from the show: "Remember. You take a man kabooming, he kabooms for a day. But you teach a man how to kaboom… Kaboom! Kaboom! Kaboom!"

pretty sure that's the same charity

Its in the hood. Waste of money.

How completely ignorant of you. And it's not even bliss.

It's true, that area is very diverse and eclectic. May levels of income occupy a 5 minute drive within that area including the lower-class. But it is not the "hood" and the area is gentrifying. Which this park would help expediate.

No kidding, pretty ignorant statement by "geterdone."

I live here and I find your remark offensive! How would you feel if you lived there?

Its in the hood. Waste of money.

Why do you bother posting here?

and besides, even if it was "in da hood", it would help beautify a blighted area.

I suppose the lighting ceremony for the Tower Theater this Friday is a waste too...

So we should only build parks for rich people?

[windowphobe]

Heck, we got a grant for our little striplet of a park in my neighborhood, and we're not exactly overloaded with wealthy folk. And it's not even a playground. (It was, however, somewhat trashed by the December '07 ice storm.)

I sent to link to most of my OKC friends so they can vote for the park in The Paseo.
