A city opens a new public park that is open to everyone free of charge. The park features a large, well-maintained lawn for recreation. On most days, there is plenty of space for everyone. However, on sunny holiday weekends, the lawn becomes so crowded that it is difficult for new arrivals to find a spot to sit or play.
