Basket Ball Court or Band Shell

I understand that you are planning to create a public space in our neighborhood by building either handball and basketball courts or a band shell. While I am certainly in favor of promoting athletics in our community, providing a place for free concerts would improve the quality of life for more members of our community, especially those who are elderly or unable to participate in physical activity.

Currently, when we want to see concerts and performances, we have to go to concert halls by car. It is such an inconvenience that only a few people enjoy live concerts or performances. However, a larger number of people will be able to enjoy them if there is a band shell in our neighborhood. Some people may find that they possess a strong interest in music or plays when they have an opportunity to see them more often. These people might be inspired to become musicians and performers. In future, very popular artists might come from our neighborhood. Furthermore, this might become a popular activity which could enhance socialize and perhaps even the local economy of the area.

A band shell in the neighborhood would also bring many residents together. A place where residents could meet each other in a lively atmosphere would definitely improve our understanding and horizons. Some old people stay in their houses all day long without talking with young people. This isolation often leads to depression. Most young people always collectively with members of their own age group, never getting the chance to enjoy the company of old generations. Attending concerts and performances would give everyone something in common. People might begin conversing and developing friendships because of their mutual experience. Excellent art encourages us to share our feelings others.

I enjoy playing a good game with friends or neighbors as much as anyone. However, we have plenty of handball and basketball courts all over the community. If we truly want to improve the quality of life in the neighborhood, we should offer a facility for all, not just a few. We must include our seniors in any proposed improvement to our community.

Building a band shell gives the most opportunity for the most people to enjoy life, and it allows us a wider variety of experiences. Let's make a public space that is truly for all the public.
