- * I agree with ["Users/BrianSolecki"] that it is pretty much semantic now, but I think there are other reasons besides compassion for owls to not put in lawns at this park. In my opinion, if the city would put in more landscaping native to this climate instead of lawns and sports facilities, much expense could be saved besides other benefits. I don't think it really matters if the owls go extinct, it is known fairly certainly that planetary biodiversity has large variations on a regular basis. I think more important than that and sports is for the city government to operate in an economically sustainable way. It is also useful to think of natural resource conservation in terms of economic sustainability instead of as something intrinsically good.

I concur with the person who said the top part of the article should be fact, and opinions should be left to the comments (or perhaps a subsection of the main section if there's enough anger to warrant it). Myself, I have mixed feelings on the park. I'm not particularily happy that they put a park here because I value natural land to a degree, but on the other hand, I use it regularily, like that I can view the burrowing owls and bunnies (before they were hidden by the brush), and I feel they did a pretty good job overall in making the area attractive. Given that the park is at the intersection of several greenbelts, it gets a lot of use. --["AlexPomeranz"]

- The area used to be an open area full of wild vegitation, animal life, and some concrete paths. The city bulldozed a large part of the wild area (leaving some of the older oak trees, which are now set off in fenced/walled areas), added grass, small trees, a picnic area, and multiple baseball and other sporting fields. There is still a fenced in area that contains no fewer than 3 burrowing owl nests and a lot of wild rabbits. They also added more paths, which ring the wildlife area. The area has become a popular place for walkers, joggers, and lacrosse and baseball players. There is a basketball court, a set of bathrooms, and a set of swings and a playset for the kiddies. The picnic area is roofed, has multiple tables, a BBQ, a drinking fountain, and a water spigot. There is also a campfire circle -- in the middle of the circle, a sign was recently added stating that no fires are allowed here (ironically, it sits in a pile of ash).	+ The area used to be an open area full of wild vegetation, animal life, and some concrete paths.

	+ * No need for a neutral point of view, but a little balance to the bias is a good idea. NPOV doesn't allow for things like reviews or blunt commentary (which is why Wikipedia is NPOV, and DavisWiki isn't). Unbalanced bias isn't a good thing either. I like the term "Cumulative POV": the different bias (and opinions) of all the editors eventually removes the barbs, but not the points. Put in a point about the owls, make a counter point, and be done. Anger over the conversion of a wilderness area to a groomed park (or enjoying the new facilities of the park) is part of the community and certainly should be part of the entry. -- ["JabberWokky" jw]

	+ * I agree with ["BrianSolecki"] that it is pretty much semantic now, but I think there are other reasons besides compassion for owls to not put in lawns at this park. In my opinion, if the city would put in more landscaping native to this climate instead of lawns and sports facilities, much expense could be saved besides other benefits. I don't think it really matters if the owls go extinct, it is known fairly certainly that planetary biodiversity has large variations on a regular basis. I think more important than that and sports is for the city government to operate in an economically sustainable way. It is also useful to think of natural resource conservation in terms of economic sustainability instead of as something intrinsically good. See ["Measure G"]. -["NickSchmalenberger"]
