Everyone, NOBODY buys a park to "help them out". It is all for a strong business decision, or for a defensive measure. Roger LaJorden(I think that is the owners name), has spent plenty of time, money and personal resources to make a great park in an underserved area over the past few years.
He has spent the past few trade shows looking at asthetics, like benches, shade, food kiosks and such to help along the park experience. He has a long way to go to become complete, but the park looks great for the young age.
Besides, I think that park would really thrive under the Kennywood family, but he will not be selling anytime soon.
