I've lived in small rural towns, where parks are a waste of taxpayer dollars according to many people

I'd imagine those same people think any spending is a waste of taxpayers dollars.

Bizarre. I stop at a few rural parks when bringing the kids home to Florida. They're mostly very nice and well attended.

OTOH, I can see rural people not valuing parks. After all, we can go 1/4 mile from anywhere and be in actual nature.

hey where’s my social security check?

Oh yeah the parks are usually fine (albeit, some can be quite bland) - it's the people who don't appreciate them. Why go to the park when they could go to the mall? Because by the time they're in their car, why drive to a park?
