Use the excerpt from a letter to answer the prompt.
The current state of Castle Park is a disgrace to our community. Ten
years ago, community groups came together to give our children a
safe place to play. Today, the wooden structure rots, the chains on
the swing set rust, and garbage covers the ground. The city
government refuses to take responsibility for restoring the structure,
yet it will not allow concerned citizens to make their own repairs. Our
children deserve a safe, clean, functional play space. The city
council's inaction has turned a gem of the park system into yet
another public junkyard.
