Here's a map of the buildings in Bloomington along with parks in light green and areas within a 10 minute walk in translucent green.

Observations
- The "Ped shed" around Cascades, the big park at the north appears too ambitious, perhaps because it's in a steep ravine. I'm going to make a follow up map addressing that.
- Green Acres in the northwest quadrant pops as one of several neighborhoods with no park nearby.
- "Latimer Woods" appears as an island in southeast and is not a typical park, but a small hiking trail with an entrance behind an an apartment complex. Without Latimer Woods, the whole quadrant is park-deficient.
4. The lack of density around College Mall and its big parking lots stands out. Would be a great park location!
