Don’t ruin nature with water park

Please do not build the water park! There are many reasons not to. The biggest is that something has to be done about saving the bald eagles along with all of the other birds that are there day after day.

I have lived across from Bennett Park for the last 25 years. Nature is a big part of life.

And with Walmart, Gettel and the apartments being built, something needs to be done about saving the eagles along with all the other birds.

And it just needs to be done the way the Bennett boys said it should be done, not some development that’s going to cause a lot of issues.

Bennett Park so far is great for us. We’re just simple people who care about simple things. But we love nature and we just want to protect them.
