Park vs Park
Marcus planned to park his car near the community park so he could go for a quick walk before his meeting. The park was quiet that morning, and he enjoyed watching families set up for the weekend event. Before heading back, he stopped to take photos of the new park signs the city had installed. When he returned to the lot, he realized people were rushing to park their cars for the event, and he was glad he had arrived early. As he drove away, he thought about how nice it was to take a break at the park before another long workday.
