Today, Sunday, I walked past the Ballard Commons Park and just have to comment what a wonderful addition it is to our community. Today is warm and sunny, one day before our "official" spring. The park is a beehive of activity. Young adults playing Frisbee, little kids zipping around on bikes and trikes, daring people using the skateboard bowl, and older citizens sitting in the sun. To my mind it really brings the community together, all ages enjoying the open space. Each and every one of us needs to make sure that its use is never abused and voice our opinion to anyone we see trying to spoil a gem in our area. I'm a senior citizen and wouldn't hesitate to scold anyone for misbehavior regarding the property.
