When I became active on Steemit I had heard about Steem park but lacked any general knowledge about it. Have not really thought about it since I had joined. I did not know they had FUNDED a park using what they earned from posts! I had thought it was a local neighborhood that mearly renamed a park for guerilla marketing.
This form of offline grassroots marketing is precisely what we need. I am going to add this example now to my classes I am teaching in January about Steemit.
