Parks & Playgrounds:

Web Form: Hi, i just found another used needle in the playground at Rev. Butler Park. This is in addition to one i found under a picnic shelter earlier this earlier. The City absolutely must provide sharps containers at every park! I know or at least two other community members who have shared their concerns with the City about needles at Butler Park. The first child that steps on a dirty needle and sues the city will be so unfortunate. Posting sharps containers in public places is a totally accepted best practice to promote the safety of both the general public, and the needle using community. Please.

I have a: Suggestion

My comments involve: park
