Fitts Park
Personal memory by Brett Roblez
2016 • Salt Lake City, UT 84115, USA
Hello, my name is Brett Roblez and I was born in Salt Lake City Utah but raised in Louisiana. As a child I would go back to Utah every summer where there was a park named Fitts park. This park when I was four had a giant hill and many open fields. Sadly as I grew older every summer something would change. At first they tore down the hill, then they covered the fields of grass with plastic and blocked out the sky with large tarps made to "protect the children from the sun". Needless to say the park is no longer a beacon of hope and happiness, but one of loss and depression.
