| There's more ACTUAL parking there now than there was earlier. When cars would line up down the side of the road it made it damn near impossible to get anywhere. Also when those cars did park right next to the road it made it difficult for an ambulance to reach the fields without having to hop curbs and dodge trees incase of an emergency.
The landscaping is key to a location. It makes you look better than other places so when people come to town to play they can say "wow, look what dodge has compared to our town." Do you know how many people come to Legends Ball Park and say how great of a complex it is? Do you know how easily Dodge could have said screw landscaping and make a complex that was landscaped as simple as Youth Complex or Thurow. Having a greened up area will make people feel more welcome. Think about your lawn for a second...do you have bushes and trees and other bells and whistles to try and spruce up your place a little more than your neighbor.
