The county owned parcel near the ocean is already used as a defacto park; it just doesn't get the clean-up and police attention that a real park would have. As shockwave rider correctly notes, it is heavily littered with broken glass and "little baggies," thus making it a detriment to the community rather than an asset. It is also smaller than the parcel on 26th by a factor of about 20, although it is unlikely that the county would use all 20 acres for their proposal.
@Kalakoa: Engaging the mess that is "leadership" of HPP in discussion has to be an interesting exercise for the county. I just have to wonder what the purpose might be. It could be as simple as getting 20 acres of free land for a park that they can claim credit for without providing the usual connective infrastructure. Or it could be more complicated. Are you familiar with the metaphorical term "Byzantine?" Our county government makes the Byzantines seem honest and uncomplicated.
