Graham Oaks Nature Park[edit]
- ... that an estimated 100 million wildflower and grass seeds were spread at Graham Oaks Nature Park (pictured) before it opened to the public?

Meets all the criteria. However, I would think a hook along the lines of the following would be more interesting.
- alt1 "... that Graham Oaks Nature Park (pictured) had just one oak tree when it was opened to the public?" CMD (talk) 15:19, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
- While the second hook is catchy, it is not in the article, so we can't use it. While one news article cited does claim that as a fact, the problem is that it is simply not accurate. There is only one large, mature oak at the park. But, during the planting process before the park opened, they planted a whole bunch of them, so there are a whole bunch of other oak trees, they are just little things that you would not recognize as an oak tree. I'm open to other hooks though. Aboutmovies (talk) 16:45, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
