Renovation and diversity to parks and recreation

I'm an outdoors and athletic type person and when I was younger, I've spent ample time in the community parks. My most favorite to this day is the city of Atlanta park Washington park. I've first hand seen how that, now beautiful and community friendly park, transformed from a dangerous and hazardous to what it is now.
I've recently been wanting to get into doing anything that has exercise and fitness to prevent myself from heart failure at such a young age.

 The drive for decent parks is too long. there is a park 5 mins from my house however the parks aren't really community friendly. The playgrounds are old and dated. There isn't new exercise equipment. There isn't proper care for the parks and the land is often neglected resulting in the decline in popularity and overall use of the parks.
I would like to see an increase in the usage of public parks and their recreational facilities, but why update and restore the parks?
My number one reason is because not everyone can afford (or wants) to pay for community centers fitness centers and gyms such as YMCA, Boys and Girls club or La Fitness or Planet Fitness. Yes these facilities are high grade but i do not believe that they are payed for by the city government and taxes.
one more reason is because people use newer things more frequently. I know I would use the parks in my area if they were updated. The Fulton county park would be an ideal place for different activities . I also would like to see diversity in the activities that happen with in the parks. When I go to the website for our parks and rec I see a limited amount off activities for everyone.

Below I.20 Bringing The south to the light.

W hy is everything that flourishes and prospers in Atlanta, GA above I.20? Up north,far away from people on the south-side of the metro Atlanta area. Why do all of the people of the south always travel everywhere else but to the south to get quality in community? Why do people of the African American community leave their perfectly capable and ample community, in disarray, shambles, lower quality etc, to go and grow another community? They...We shouldn't. Its time someone starts addressing the part of Atlanta that's Below I.20 . I want this blog to talk about the good and bad qualities of the south/black Atlanta area. I will be touching on everything that I think are major  influences in the black communities,such as education and administration, down to the smallest thing like personal hygiene. The south and their black communities has so much to offer, So much potential to become a supplier of the same things that the north-side has.I want to bring the light to the sou
