Its a beautiful hidden piece of land, with a pond and many types of wildlife living on it, the police and firemens association own it but are just squating on it till its worthless. they have no interest in the land (I swim there daily, weather permitting, a stadium was built adjacent to it (but hidden by trees) and since its been there the water is getting dirtier and dirtier. What avenue would be best to deem this land protected and off limits to development or neglect?

Buy the development rights of the land from police and firemen association. This will help fund their children's education and their own retirements.

Short of buying the land yourself, you have no more or less right than any other member of the general public to "protect" it. You cannot just prohibit development because you personally want to; there has to be a lawful reason.

This one won't be easy, since there are no specific guidelines for what sort of property deserves the treatment you seek. You might start with the local city council or similar, and possibly engage the assistance of your state's department of natural resources.
In either event, expect this one to drag on for a long time. I've yet to see quick action when it comes to such desired protections.
