PROUD HERITAGE
Tom Cain
A July 9 article in The Journal Gazette reported that WalletHub ranked Fort Wayne rather poorly (96th) among 100 cities regarding our recreational opportunities. Friends of the Parks of Allen County respectfully must disagree.
We believe we have much to celebrate in the recreational opportunities provided by our city parks. At our recent annual meeting, we offered a report on the progress made in implementing plans prepared for our heritage parks, those major parks woven into the historic neighborhoods of our community.
