\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>\nNorth Central Park continues to be developed, yet something is a little different in this neighborhood. Although many Stapleton neighborhoods form their own cliques, residents at least have the option to easily venture over to another area. For example, Eastbridge residents can make the drive across the bridge to visit acquaintances from across the way. People from \u201cOld Stapleton\u201d can head down MLK to visit any of their neighbors from another hood.\nThis is not true of the tucked away neighborhood of North Central Park, especially if you live on the east side. \u201cIt\u2019s probably a lot like how Alcatraz prisoners felt,\u201d says North Central Park resident Owen Williams. \u201cWe can see the rest of Stapleton the same way they could see San Francisco. It\u2019s just really hard to get there.\u201d It\u2019s true that if a North Central Park resident wants to take their child to a birthday party anywhere else in Stapleton, they have quite the trip in front of them. They must drive far west all the way down 33rd or 35th to Central Park Blvd, then wait 10-15 minutes at the light, and finally head back east a long ways as well. It has discouraged many residents from making or keeping friends from the other Stapleton neighborhoods.\n\u201cIt just got to be too much of a hassle,\u201d says Paige Hill. \u201cWe moved out here at the suggestion of our friends that live in Eastbridge, but we see them less now. We are more likely to hang out with people in our neighborhood, or even friends in Park Hill.\u201d\nResidents do see at least one advantage. \u201cYou can drive as fast as you want,\u201d says Preston Essex. \u201cEven the police think it is too much of a pain to come out here. Of course, many of us are concerned what would happen if there was a fire.\u201d\nThe only thing that would make the neighborhood more accessible would be to put a road directly through Central Park, which is highly unlikely at this point.]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
