Moncus Park Meltdown!

For the first time in a long time, I was able to visit Moncus Park. It was such a beautiful experience to see everyone enjoying themselves. Kids were flying kites, birds were chirping, people were having picnics and reading books in the grass. It was magical! Then I thought to myself, what if people didn't care about nature's beauty? Would this park even exist or would it just become another shopping center or apartment!
