The current state of Castle Park is a place of admiration in our community. Ten years ago, community groups came together to give our children a safe place to play. Today, the wooden structure stands strong, the chains on the swing sets get a brand new replacement, and the space looks and feels clean. The atmosphere is electric with laughter and screams of excitement. It is safe, clean, and functional. With the city council's help, we would like to keep Castle Park a thriving playground for our children. (4 points)

Answer 1

In this letter, the words "admiration", "safe", "strong", "clean", and "thriving" really set a positive tone. "Admiration" indicates that the Castle Park is a source of pride and happiness in the community, which is a good thing. When the author called the park "safe", "strong", and "clean" it made me feel really good about the park because it seems like a great place for the community kids to play. Finally, saying the park is "thriving" suggests the park is doing well and making the community a better place.
