I’m feeling a bit Jane Jacobs-y today, so I thought I’d throw this topic out for discussion.

Of Decatur’s many parks, which gets the most foot traffic and, more importantly, why?  Is it also the city’s most “attractive” park?

Also, flip the question on its head. What’s Decatur’s least popular park and why?

I don’t spend nearly enough time roaming our city parks to give a definitive answer, but I think the insane popularity of First Christain’s pocket park at the corner of Nelson Ferry and Northern provides a few valuable lessons on what makes a successful park.
