Great City Parks Book

I had to read this book for a class and after the first 5 chapters I was bored. It's not that it was a bad book it's just that I'm not that interested in knowing a bunch of facts about the parks. Perhaps if I lived in the area where this parks are founded than perhaps I would care more. However I liked the preface and the introduction to the book a lot since it tells you the actual reason why parks were build which is kinda dark, I'm not going to say why though. In addition to that some of the parks also have interesting histories which sometimes involve corruption so that's always fun oh and it also talks about crime in the parks which is also interesting.
