Felt uncomfortable having my family at building and trades park because homeless people were using the covered area as a place to live in relatively large numbers. They had their belongings, food items, chairs and other furniture for sleeping. It was obvious it was more for them than a day or at the park. Also they left trash around the restroom area. This is sad as it male it an unsafe atmosphere for children like a park with a playground should be. We ended up leaving early even though we live in this neighborhood.
I came home from work today, 7.31 and my baby sitter said there were people openly using drugs at B and T park. when she asked them to put it away, they threatened to fight her. some of the cardboard is still there and u can see the marks where many people are sleeping.
wasp attack in Bryan Park - on the creek path near the Woodlawn end, Friday evening
Park Ridge East shelter missing roof shingles.
Chain ladder on play structure is partially detached from the ground and is unsafe.
Went to the third street park with our child and the first thing we could saw was a couple with an open container of hard alcohol. As we were at the play ground it seemed they left but noticed they moved to the stage instead and were lying on their mats. It seemed they were living there. Our daughter usually likes to wander into the stage at some point but we had to tell her no and had to leave because we didn't feel safe. Mind you the police station is just behind this park and it seemed it was not being policed at all. People should not be able to use the parks as their residence. Could parks and rec please do something about this?
