There appears to be drug dealing going on in RCA Park. There is a black vehicle that appears to be involved with at least three undernourished pit bulls in and around the vehicle. If someone is approaching from the walking path the dogs bark and snarl. One appears to be secured by a thin rope. Why is there never a police presence in this area? I almost never see park security down here. It feels like parks and Rec has given up on keeping our parks safe.

There are frequently creepy older men hanging around the Upper Cascades Park and Playground area. The same vehicles are often seen, with the occupants hanging around, then acting shifty and walking into the woods when another car approaches and that occupant also walks into the woods. The individuals then exit the woods at or close to the same time. Sometimes, the cars just park next to each other briefly and then leave. Then the "regular" car returns and waits for another vehicle to approach. Taken all together, it looks like drug deals going down on the regular. There is also litter all over the walking path in the woods and the Lions' Den picnic shelter.

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

People putting up Tents and spending the night at seminary park. I thought public parks had a curfew?!?! If not, how do we make reservations as me and about 50 friends want to set up rvs/tents and spend the weekend? Does it have electricity and water hookup?
