Might the answer be "arrogant" Tommie?
Or perhaps conceited?
Or could it be egotistical?

community?
commons
joint, like a joint bank account?
Hmm. No, but Laurelindhe ilmarin was very close, only I'm looking for an adjective here, not a noun.
In some cases, the word 'public' can be used as an adjective, can it not? Is it Public?
It might have been, but it's not. I'm looking for the adjective derived from the noun "community". 
Alright, I've got it-Communal, isn't it? If I don't get it this time, I will shoot myself in the foot.
Yes, Laurelindhe ilmarin, that's exactly it. Another Woolly Gem is on its way.

I think I know it, but I'll wait 24 hours to give someone else a chance at it. 
Erosion?
That's what came to my mind also, Stonehelm.
Me three! I want to jump on the bandwagon too!
Erosion!

I'm looking for a verb here.
But you're all very very very close.
But you're all very very very close.
Then it ought to be "erode". 
Indeed, so it is, Grondy. Another bright and shiny Woolly Gem for your collection! 
"A park where many kinds of (wild) animals are kept for show."

Very clever of you, Stoney, that's exactly it, indeed! Your reward is on its way!

It isn't anywhere near the tip of my tongue and there are too many "pa..." words in my dictionary.
Ok:

palpable fits, and concerns knowing by touch,except it has neutral connotations. Then again, palatable has positive connotations to the taste. But I don't think either of these fit your definitions, do they, maybe I am just too provincial or have yet to find it in my huge Webster's New Universal Unabridged. 
I don't have access to the OED.
I don't have access to the OED. Palpable is the word I was looking for. (I copied the exact description from my "Longman dictionary of contemporary English"). Then again, my version is a rather old one, so...
Another Woolly Gem for the Grondmaster!

No, but a nice guess.
Hint: it's connected with the sea.
Hint: it's connected with the sea.
Alright, well it's not exactly one word, but technically, since it is hyphenated, it does actually serve as one word: is it 'ship-shape'? That relates to the sea...if I am way off, may my toes contract the flesh-eating disease and fall off, despite my feet!
