Parks & Playgrounds:

Other: Hi son, just picked up and handed me this ripped off corner of a baggie that looks like drugs that you would smoke. This is not the first time we found needles or drugs at this park. The city should have a place where you can just put in needles and drugs submissions. I can only imagine what would happen if my son would’ve picked us up and eaten the contents of the baggie. Luckily, I was standing right next to him when he picked it up.

Assigned to: Tim Street

I have a: Complaint

My comments involve: park

Thanks for the report. We do have custodial staff visit Butler Park every day. While we do have things like sharps containers, we unfortunately can't ensure that they are used. We'll be sure staff continue to monitor the playground area.
