Taking Parks Corporate Video
1. What is the difference between a private park and a public park? Is one better than the
other? Why or why not?
A private park is owned and operated by an individual or organization, while a public park is
owned and operated by the government. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and
whether one is better than the other depends on various factors such as funding, management,
and accessibility.
2. Should people who run parks be allowed to make a profit? Why or Why not?
People who run parks should be allowed to make a profit, as long as they provide quality
services and maintain the park's integrity. However, there should be regulations in place to
ensure that the park remains accessible to the public and that the profits are not made at the
expense of the park's natural resources.
3. Some of the public parks in this video were shown badly kept and barren but were
rejuvenated after private companies took them over. Why do you think this was the
case?
The rejuvenation of poorly maintained public parks after private companies took them over
could be due to better management, increased funding, and a focus on profit-making. However,
it is important to note that not all public parks require private intervention to improve.
4. Shirley Kressel says, "we don't need to do this." What is an alternative? How do you
think things should be done concerning parks?
An alternative to privatizing public parks could be to increase government funding and improve
management practices. This could involve hiring more staff, implementing sustainable practices,
and involving the community in park maintenance and decision-making.
