Vacant lot in the Bronx

I chose to take a picture of the vacant ally in my neighborhood because this is a playground for most young children. It looks decrepit and unsanitary I'm sure, however many children play soccer and baseball here. They slip through that hole in the front of the gate and enjoy themselves during the summertime. Most people looking at it may think its a useless piece of space or maybe useful for some commercial business especially to someone not from here. The people in this Parchester area of the Bronx though, know that it is as close to a recreation center as it gets for some of our youth.
