... that a neighborhood in Virginia lost its public park because its city government did not build a fence? Source: "Although the Improvement Company had given its 'Woodland Park' on a hill in the southeast to the municipal government in the early 1880s, the firm put that tract on the market in the summer of 1890 as well when the city failed to fence the property as it had agreed to do."

Nice work on this article. I modified the hook slightly per MOS:N'T (I often make the same mistake myself, so don't worry). Everything is good to go. Epicgenius (talk) 17:22, 22 December 2023 (UTC)
