To ghetto or not to ghetto?

For the record, the playgournd isn't even THIS good...boo!

So we've moved back out to Langford...now I'm not saying Langford is the ghetto at all...for all of you who jump to conclusions, I think it's quite lovely...my problem lies with the park situation, or lack there of.  In our brand new neighbourhood and by new I mean everything is new...there is no park and I don't believe they plan to build one either...wtf?  There really does seem to be a shortage of parks out this way...oh sure there is the abandoned elementary school behind our hood which does have two little park areas, however, one has no swings and they have stripped all of the backboards of their nets...oh and I am continually walking past empty condom wrappers...it's March for crying out loud...who is having sex outdoors????  I suppose I should just rejoice that they are safe, however, not from exposure...ouch!  I digress...where are the friggin parks...if anyone knows, please tell me.  Should I even be complaining about the sad state of parks out here when, at our last park, which was inconveniently located a stones throw away from EMP (for those of you who are unfamiliar with these three little letters, it is Victoria's Mental Health and Addiction Services Institute)...which means that on any given day you might find someone smoking crack on a park bench located beside the slides and monkey bars, or catch a view of a half-naked man covered in fiberglass whipping through the park to avoid the fuzz...it's awesome...so should I complain that I have to drive to take Sylvie to a park or that I have to look at condom wrappers or that the park near our house is always eerily unoccupied...hmmm???  It's hard to say...I can complain about just about anything at any given time, so really why stop now....but it is a valid question non?...if you know of a secret park out here please let me know.
