Park status sound off.

Also for Southern California and Arizona - this is an El Nino year and it may be that a lot of people decided it was going to be too wet/windy/cold for them. After some 5+ years of dryness, it is good to see the rain, but I suppose it isn't for everyone.

I do think there is a demographic change going on. We've been fulltimers for a number of years and one of the things I'm noticing is that parks are still catering events for those who went to high school before the 60s, or for those who think Country Music is the only thing available. Luckily we don't depend upon the park offerings in terms of entertainment and in a large metro area we find plenty to do, but it is sad that the management of the parks hasn't figured out that they might need to adjust a changing of the 'guard' so to speak.

I certainly have to agree with that based on where we stay. There are lots of people here that are in their 50's and early 60's that don't take part in most of the events at the clubhouse. Many of us feel they are for a generation like our parents. As an example they celebrate New Years on New York time so it's all over at 10 pm. That's fine if that's what they want but don't expect the younger or young at heart to attend. The music at most events is of that generation too so that doesn't appeal to some. We aren't complaining and think the older generation is entitled to have fun their way. Just mentioning it in case attendance is lacking at some parks.
