Some of these properties are unusually shaped, heavily over grown, but not necessarily in horrible locations (on a busy road, in a dangerous neighborhood).

But to get you started, a few inexpensive items you can implement to improve the park quickly - create good rules and regulations for the park and enforce the "No Pay, No Stay" policy; improve the road frontage with a white 3 rail fence and new sign; do not allow dangerous breed dogs.After that, find the money for MHU Boot Camp and attend :)
