Band 5+: The City Manager is surveying the opinion of the community about family picnics held in public parks. On the one hand, public parks are created for people to enjoy nature. On the other hand, large family gatherings can be noisy and occupy a lot of park space. The City Manager has asked you to complete an opinion survey. Option A: Family picnics should not be allowed in public parks. Option B: Family picnics should be allowed in public parks.

The debate regarding holding family gatherings at the park reserved for the public has generated substantial discourse. Undoubtedly, permitting the family picnic to be held at the park is a much more suitable alternative.

When considering the cost-effectiveness, it becomes apparent that getting together a large set of groups at the park premises will reduce the fixed cost associated with the number of people. Similarly, it may enhance the available room for gatherings rather than selecting a specific location such as a restaurant, recreational center, or pub.

Nevertheless, if it is prohibited to enter the park for gatherings, it might support the local authorities to keep the area’s environment clean and tidy. However, it may be associated with some adverse impact on the area’s community in terms of maintaining meaningful and productive relationships among the individuals. What’s worse is that, ultimately, it leads to lose people’s social needs and stability of the society.

Given the aforementioned, I am certain that allowing picnics at the park is the most viable solution considering the cost-benefit analysis, space availability, and individual’s social values.
