NY Daily News - Voice of the People - "Keep Undeveloped Parkland Wild"
Read original...
Every bit of parkland is precious, but the less-developed parkland is the most precious of all, so the city should be very careful in the development of the Ridgewood Reservoir area.
It is far from being the forest primeval, but it is reasonably wild for property that is on the border between Queens and Brooklyn.
Bulldozing it and putting in ballfields because there is a demand for ballfields would be a mistake.
Every effort should be made to respect and utilize the area for what it is. We shouldn't be so quick to try to turn it into something else.
