* BigBad: Bitsy is the central antagonist of the series' first season, as she has a long plan to destroy the park slowly in order to force the city to sell it to her, and subsequently for her to sell the area to multiple companies. Among her actions are to make it harder for the park to be able to take the garbage out and pushing the city to block the money inflow of the park. She's also targeting Owen and tries to tarnish his reputation as park manager so that he can be fired and replaced with somebody who won't get in her way.

Her antagonism takes a backseat during season two in favor of expanding her character and ''slightly'' humanizing her.
