Relevance of teenager traps?[edit]

I'm sorry, but I fail to see the relevance of the Rambo-inspired traps to the article as a whole. It seems that one sentence was added to the beginning of a bigger, unrelated section.

"In May 1985, two teenagers set booby traps at the district's Fir Grove Park, imitating traps they had seen in the movie First Blood, the first film in the Rambo series.[16] The district agreed to transfer nine parks, for a total of 56 acres (23 ha), to neighboring Hillsboro in 2002.[17]..."

This is the beginning of the second-to-last paragraph in the History section. It reads like the teenagers set the traps and cause the district to transfer control of the park 20 years later... which I'm sure was not the case. Did the traps have any other relevance to the history of the park at all? Did it cause some large controversy or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.153.29.23 (talk • contribs) 23:36, 24 April 2010

Not addressing its relevance, but I agree it should be separated from the text that follows. The absence of a break there is a little confusing/misleading, so I've put one in. SJ Morg (talk) 08:47, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The incident made a fair amount of news at the time, so while I don't think it's the most important thing, that's an editorial decision which we don't really get to make. Certainly it should really be in the article about the individual park, but there is no article and I'm not sure if one would pass WP:NOTE. Aboutmovies (talk) 20:48, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New Logo[edit]

The park district adopted a new logo in the fall of 2013. The logo can be found here: http://www.thprd.org/images/logos/thprd2013/weblogo.gif — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bixentelizarazu (talk • contribs) 15:39, 28 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
