Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: My wife and I took our kids to explore Switchyard Park one morning last month (3/27). We were excited to see the new development. And it really is wonderful, but...we found homeless people drinking in the play areas, one passed out on a bench, and vomit on the B-line trail (around the area of the Warehouse). It didn't feel like a safe place for kids. At the corner of B-line/Grimes, there's a small police station, and the area in front of it was strewn with trash and bottles, and with a person passed out on top of the picnic table. I guess this police building might not have any police inside. This is a serious problem. I would not let my kids go there by themselves. Is this issue on your agenda? Thanks for all you do.

I have a: Complaint

My comments involve: park

Thanks - every day we have custodial and Switchyard Park staff who work hard first thing in the morning to maintain a safe and clean environment at the park for all users. We hope you can continue to enjoy the park. In terms of some of your bigger concerns re: passed out people, etc.: we are aware of the situation and will be coordinating with our partners both internal and external once the Mayor approves a plan of action based on best practices from across the nation.
