The town is regressing. The majority of the houses are unkept and getting worse by the year. It’s common to see peeling paint, caved-in roofs, plastic-covered broken windows, broken down vehicles parked in the yard, and garbage strewn everywhere. Low income and high tax rates have ruined what was once a nice town. Not enough people care enough to take real action in this type of town.
Parsons is a fairly small town, but the people that live here are extremely nice and helpful. There are plenty of family-friendly activities to do in Parsons such as; several different parks, Curious Minds, dog parks, walking trails, rec center, and a swimming pool. I believe we have a splash pad coming soon for younger children.
I love Parsons because the people here are so nice and because there are many things to do without being a big city. However, I wish that local officials played a bigger role in the community.
