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.

Please put a trash can and a sharps container in the porter potty at Winslow/Willie Streeter. Lots of people through trash into the porter pottie. I think this would help the problem. Thank you very much.

I was walking the trail with my kids and a large scary homeless man started hurling insults and curse words at me or someone close to me. I’ve seen him do this multiple times and he is making impossible and even dangerous for people to visit Cascades.

The bridge over Patterson Drive at the B-Line now has become a tent city, can you please do something. I do not feel safe even driving by here and this morning I saw a little child outside of the tents living.
