 ====== Gretchen Park ======
-<WRAP center round alert 80%>
+Gretchen Park is an orbital exotic botanical garden built in 2237 by [[Robert Gretchen]] dedicated to his dying wife and research assistant, [[Margret Gretchen]]. At the height of the station's popularity, it received over two million guests per year. However, by 2315 enhancements in force field and biological containment technologies allowed exotic plants to be kept on Earth's surface, ending bans and making the park obsolete. By [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/2320|2320]], Gretchen Park was completely abandoned.

-Gretchen Park is an orbital exotic botanical garden built in 2237 by [[Robert Gretchen]] in honor of his late wife, [[Margret Gretchen]]. At the height of the station's popularity, it received over two million guests per year. However, by 2315 enhancements in force field and biological containment technologies allowed exotic plants to be kept on Earth's surface, ending bans and making the park obsolete. By [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/2320|2320]], Gretchen Park was completely abandoned.
 As of 2425, the Gretchen Park was turned over to [[Sa'ren Sk'llian]] and the [[Kit Biosphere Restoration Project]].

 Park attendence grew steadily until the [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Federation-Klingon_War_(2256-57)|Federation-Klingon War]] of 2256 when the station was closed due to damaged by orbital debris. Repairs were completed in 2258 and the park reopened.
-A major renovation of the station's amenities was performed in [[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/2270|2270]]. This change allowed visitors to book stays in hotel suites, gain access to after-hours demonstrations or classes, and provide hosting for conferences. This would also be the last major overhaul of the station's operations and engineering systems.

 Robert Gretchen passed away on 15 January 2273. Like his wife, he was similarly interned through composition. The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Board_of_directors|board of trustees]] and the [[Societal Preservation of Roses, Etcetera]] continued management of the station.
-Attendance began falling steadily from its peak of two million visitors per year in 2280 to just 500,000 per year by 2300. Effort were made to revitalize and draw crowds, including opening the park as a venue for weddings and parties.

 In 2315, following improvements in force field and botanical containment systems, laws were changed to allow large quantities of previously banned exoplants on Earth. Several botanical gardens, conservatories, and zoos began importing specimens which before could only be seen at Gretchen Park. Attendence at the park entered a free fall and by 2320, the board of trustees was disbanded and the park shuttered.
+The station was handed off to various property management groups following the shutdown. These organizations sought to revitalize or retool Gretchen Park into various ventures including hotels, schools, and even an embassy. However, these projects failed to manifest in part due to the aging infrastructure and specialized rooms which did not follow modern Federation modular design, greatly impeding renovation efforts.
+In 2425, the station was handed over to the Federation-run [[Kit Biosphere Restoration Project]].
