Change of a Public Place
The environment of the park nearby always brought serenity in every individual privileged to visit. I had known the park while growing up since it was an iconic spot for our nearby residents, as well as people from far. The beauty of nature was reflected in the park by breathtaking trees, flowers and grass that covered the surface, providing a nice environment for amusement. I still remember how my parents and those of other children in the neighborhood would take us every weekend to have fun, playing all sorts of games. We also would occasionally be engaged in planting and cultivating the trees in the park. The place started changing when a restaurant was built inside the park, with the excuse of convenience to the people around. After ten years, the entire place was filled with buildings, a change that brought negative impacts on both the environment and people.
The beautiful scenery that once existed in the park faded gradually as more buildings were constructed. The park had trees that provided such a calm environment for meditation, the flowers that most people from both near and far came to see, due to the difference in varieties and intriguing colors. Most lovers would find it fit to come here for picnic and relaxation, rather than go to clubs and restaurants. The grass planted to cover the ground surface was soothing to both human beings as well as other organisms that depend on such. The replacement of the park with buildings has made the surrounding less preferable to the residents and has even caused some people to shift to more welcoming environments. The removal of trees that brought about peaceful wind and the grass that prevented soil erosion has continually made the area worse than ever. The residents that benefitted from the park by having family quality time became frustrated as they lack another spot for the same activities. One of the most peaceful places that I recognized since my earlier age, turned into an ever noisy place that most people would always avoid. The trees that continually contributed to rainfall and that caused the entire neighborhood to be green had been cut to create room for buildings. The place is no longer suitable for picnics and family fun and this would slowly abolish family values within the community. The recreational process and activities performed once in a while provided education on the significance of trees and grass on dry land. The place was a center for inspiration to many who would later initiate recreation exercise in their homesteads or other places.
