| - As of today Clark County bureaucrats have raped this park, and stolen it from the people.
Just a few days ago, New Silver Bowl Park was a 150-acre open grassy field in which you and I were free to run, play frisbee, play tag football, walk your dog, play the drums, have a picnic. But the idea of a unfenced park is intolerable to bureaucrats. Today, at a cost of $1.2 million, they are installing menacing 9 foot high metal spike fencing around the entire park -- not merely chain-link fencing but the kind of fencing you would expect to find at a prison, military base, or the Berlin Wall.
At best, if you are physically challenged and can't walk long distances you'll have to hike hundreds of yards to find an opening in the fence. At worst, you'll have to use the park at a time and place when your civil masters deign to unchain one of the few openings in the fence.
None of the photos on this page reflect current reality at this park. When the fence is complete maybe I will post new ones.
