		<description>City government talks a lot about the need to encourage physical activity among young people.  This is a proposal which could actually do something about it.  
While it is claimed that the considerable amount of parkland in Mullaly and Macombs Dam Parks which was taken will be replaced, that plan--offering parkland blocks and blocks away--reflects a flawed understanding of how most city kids live their lives, playing close to their homes because they travel by foot.  It is evident to this writer that this plan was made and approved by the car-dependent, who expect all kids to be taken by automobile from home to their ballgames.  Even after the old stadium is demolished, this parkland should stay.</description>
