We were walking around the Winslow Sports Complex tonight (2/27/23) on then paved trail and there are one or two trees down, one of which is blocking the path. I'm sure it will be seen and reported in the morning as well. This is on the southern-most leg of then path where there is a row of what may be fruit trees.
This park needs more dog waste disposal bins around the perimeter trail so that dog owners can throw out the waste instead of leaving it.
I have no issue, I was just wanting to suggest opening a dog park at the Winslow Sports plex or near by. Other possible locations could be Winslow Woods Park, Jackson Creek Trail, or South East Park.
Aggressive homeless people near children's playground. Lets just say some men were exposing themselves. Homeless camp with 4-5 tents. Also they were chopping down trees and burning.

How did this amount of yard waste get into our lovely lower Cascades park? This area was noticed Sat afternoon during our 1st Sat of the Month weed wrangle event at Lower Cascades hosted by City Parks and MC-IRIS. A number of volunteers and City Park staff have been meeting at lower Cascades for over a year with Thurs afternoon weed wrangles then more recently Sat has been added for two events in this park per week. This was the first time that we have discovered this area and I can’t understand how, when by whom and why this destroyed native habitat area had occurred and who may have first reported this form of vandalism. What can be determined and more importantly how and when can this debris be hauled away to hasten the recovery of this previously native wooded park area? I had issues trying to attach a photo or video but, I can share those or offer to help you onsite.
Three large tree branches, 8 to 12 " diameter approximated, have fallen across the trail (likely due to prior evening storm event), by the waterfall. There is a fourth limb, similar size and same location, that has been alongside the trail for a time and now juts into the trail.(This branch is against a boulder and has mushrooms on it.)
Last w/e, found pieces of shattered, clear glass on the limestone steps by the creek. Location is adjacent to the volley ball net. I picked up the larger pieces. Today I walked thru the area; with the sunlight, can still see several pieces about dime and quarter sized. Can easily cut or embed in feet or paws. Can someone sweep or vacuum? Thank you.
