John is in possession of property adjacent to his home. He does not have a deed to the property, but has enclosed it with a fence and has planted a garden on it for the past 20 years. The property is owned by the city and is part of a large park. Does John own the property by adverse possession?
Fill in the blank(s) with the appropriate word(s).
This is an adverse possession question. Even though John has everything that might give him ownership of the property, he will not own the property by adverse possession. The property was part of a park owned by the city. A person cannot obtain ownership of public property by adverse possession.
