Update: John Stossel on How the Private Sector Can Save Public Parks
touches on similar issues in this post. Stossel is always a good read. Here is some video on the topic:

In the libertarian world of 2030s Virginia in general and Crystal City in specific, private parks are the norm. They are open to the public 24/7, clean and safe. Public parks are where one goes to have trouble find them. Below are some of the privately owned parks as they look in the 2010s.

In the early part of the 21st century, free movies are shown in this private park (always open to the public). The tradition continues into the future and Suki enjoys classic movies here in the 2030s. This park is on the 1900 block of Ball Street, Arlington, VA, 22202.

A park that Suki enjoys in the first Suki series. She walks past this park between her apartment and work at her mother's office. Her favorite park in the neighborhood and Suki hopes to have her wedding ceremony here some day.

2200 Block of Crystal Drive, next to Chipotle on Crystal Drive where Suki and Jung initiate their plot to get John to pay attention to Suki.
The park is privately owned by the same firm that owns the surrounding buildings. Much cleaner and safer than any of the public parks that remain in the area.

12th Street Park:
In the 2030s, this is the only private park in Crystal City that is not considered safe. The developer on the south side tries to keep it guarded, but the developer on the north side continues to make it accessible, rather than providing recreation space on the north end.
Outdoor sales of what was considered contraband and vice in earlier decades is rampant, but just a lure for thieves.
