• Why did the city of Farragut install a quarter-mile of wood fence in front of McFee Park? How much did it cost? There are no gates, so entrance and exit, 24/7, can still take place. The fence is now a forever city maintenance item to be mowed and edged. The new wood appearance will soon turn an old grayish look.

Did the city officials consider other types of fences? I thought the open space of the grass looked fine before. Now, the park looks like a corral.
