1. Gunter Park By: Camryn MacDonald

2. Introduction The current Gunter park lacks recreational systems. Our seventh grade class was invited to join in an authentic learning experience. From there, our class conducted a survey, asking exactly what Gunter residents would like to see added to the Gunter park. Obviously the park does not provide these entertainment sources.
