We hope you've made a regular
practice of checking out our Open
Space blog - in our August issue,
we highlighted Cindi Wight's entry
discussing her experience at NRPA's
Directors School. This month, a blog
post by Parks & Recreation's Associate Editor Samantha Bartram has
everyone talking. In this piece, titled
" Your Park is Your Family, " Bartram
examines the case of Debra Harrell,
whose 9-year-old daughter was taken into state protective custody after
she was discovered playing alone at a
park while her mother was at work.
Bartram explores the questions this
story raises, such as, what happened
to parks being considered a safe
place for children to play? Read the
thought-provoking entry at www.
nrpa.org/blog.
