Honestly if it’s due to foot traffic and kids a recess i rather have it look ugly and be useable than it be roped off to look better.

Guess happy medium there would be to replace with turf but i don’t know how that would 1, effect the trees, and 2, effect the general environment. No idea if it is bad at all but I’ve definitely feel like I heard it ain’t great somewhere. Maybe a Snapple cap fact lol?

Either way think it’s good to have some parks that can be used for more stuff beyond a view and I think Hamilton does that well plus has the skyline view anyway.

It’s not good that the soil is compacted. The park is for everyone, not just the kids. A better solution might be to give them an area to run around (although a large part of the park is already dedicated to a playground) and then put down more resilient ground cover than grass.

Yeah but not just kids can run around. I like the idea of being able to bring a beach towel and bringing food with a friend kinda deal. During off hours adults can also use the space for physical activity as well whether that be yoga or something like that. I would say tossing a frisbee around or something similar too but the park is usually too crowded and that would probably be a great way to pollute the Hudson even more lmao.

Although if it’s environmentally bad to be packed in I also get that but I have no idea.
