I am smelling a campfire but cannot figure out the exact location.
There is a unhoused group of people camping in RCA park at this location. They have tents and a stash of bikes. Two dogs tied up that bark at people along the trail and a campfire going as of the time of this report.
There is a homeless camp set up inside the trail area in the northwest part of RCA Park, on the trail west of the University Quarry section, before the trail splits to the west and south. There are several tents and the inhabitants have at least two aggressive dogs. It also likes they were clearing the area with a hatchet or machete. This is right off the trail, inside the park.

There is a large encampment with tents. They have two guard dogs tied who bark if anyone approaches. They have cleared all vegetation of plants. They have an open fire. It has not rained for some time. This is a dangerous situation and unfair to all who would like to use the space.
Possible drug activity white passenger car may be a drug deal going on. They are parked in the back parking circle at RCA Park.
I smell a campfire on the N side of the park by the chain link fence. It is too dry for this.
Shrubs,weeds,brush and small trees have been cut down by someone and not removed, this area has also been sprayed with some type of Herbicide, that killed a lot of the grass, etc. In addition this trail was sprayed without any warning to the general public! Grass is being mowed along the trail without any attempt to clean up the mess made by whoever sprayed and cut the brush. This all needs to be cleaned up.
Homeless campsite.
