[edit] Cleanup

The article doesn't flow like it should. It seems to jump from section to section without presenting much information. In my opinion it needs to be cleaned up a bit, particularly since parks aren't a very obscure topic. Jdoty 02:18, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notable parks

Is this list really worth having? It is inevitably a magnet for everyone to add their local park to, whether it is notable or not. Links to them can all be found by following through the Category:Parks. I'd suggest the list be deleted. - MPF 22:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

• I've removed notable parks from the article. I agree with the reasoning you give and that given below. --Lendorien 13:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] proofreading and organizing

Is exactly and only what I'm going to try to do, and if that helps any I will be glad. Resonanteye 14:55, 19 November 2006 (UTC) I think the "notable parks" section should simply be a list page. Or there should be a "see also=" that links to a page with resources that will allow users to find them. I rearranged a bit- let me know what you think. Resonanteye 15:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed this image

I remomed and replaced this image becuase it is poor quality and depicts a lake more than it does a park. Lumos3 14:12, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wilderness

Would "Wilderness" areas be related to parks? Some of them are virtually National "Forest" in purpose. Just curious, since they are designated for a special purpose. Does the virtually untouched nature of Wilderness make it an antithesis to a park, rather than being "park-like"?Mdvaden 18:26, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sourcing needed

This article needs sourcing. --Lendorien (talk) 13:26, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
