Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: I am an MCIRIS and PD volunteer and have been removing invasive plants for over a year in SE Park. This week I have been removing mostly honeysuckle from the southeast side of the Renwick Blvd bridge over the creek and found a back pack the slope above the retaining wall just south of the creek. I resumed removing the invasive plants today and picked up the backpack to dispose of when I would finish today. When I picked it up the contents rattled. I saw what at first looked like a cell phone, but then discovered it was a case. When I opened the case saw that it contained a number of syringes. This case may have belong to an drug user. Having been instructed as a volunteer not to mess with these materials I put the backpack down and submitted this report

Despite contents, the item would seem to be abandoned property and Parks has been advised to have a maintenance employee dispose of it just as they do in other parks.
