There have been two men camping in the shelter at Winslow Woods park for well over a week. They sleep on the shelter picnic tables at night and stay all day in the shelter, burning wood in the bbq pit. They have been there every day I have gone to the community gardens for the past few weeks. They seem to be storing their belongings in a maroon vehicle that is always there. It is concerning that these individuals have set up camp in the shelter, which effectively keeps anyone else from using it. I thought the city was prohibiting camping in our parks, but this one has been going on for a while now.

This is a follow up on Case #192474 that Tim Street closed last week regarding unhoused individuals using the park shelter at Winslow Woods near the Community Gardens and Community Orchard as a camp.
I appreciate that the BPD is aware, but these unhoused individuals continue to live in the shelter. We go to our garden plot at sunrise and they are there, sleeping, so they obviously sleep there overnight.
They are there all day, taking over a third of the shelter. They continue to burn smoky, green wood in the grill. There things are spread all over. I’m not aware they harass anyone but it’s uncomfortable.
Are you saying it’s okay that they live there? That anyone can basically take over a park building for private use on an ongoing basis? Because that is what they have done.
It appears the City has simply ceded the park to these guys. This needs to be addressed in a better way. I feel that others should be free to use the shelter and surrounding area without these men making it feel unsafe.

I wish to complain vehemently about the noisy hand dryers at Twin Lakes. With each use, it sounds like a jet airplane taking off. A terrifying and very LOUD sound. It’s time to replace them with a softly humming dryer before an octogenarian member dies of a heart attack. You’ll save on toilet paper, too, from those who look for an alternative!

Greetings, I am the new owner of the home at 1002 E Maxwell Lane. I appreciate the fence between my property and the parking lot. The fence could use some maintenance: several of the slats are missing or broken and its has buckled about at its midpoint. Is it possible to request that you consider maintenance of the fence to repair these problems?
Thanks very much!

People have been camping in the shelter houses at 9th St. Park for several weeks, if not months. I've been reluctant to officially report it but over the last week it's become a bit more permanent. And also a bit unruly.
