Walking the trails and street line next to Latimer Woods and at the bus stop of E Buick Cadillac Blvd and S Clarizz Blvd I realized that there has been more trash filling in this area. There are now three shopping carts and some homeless encampments. The area has a foul smell. I walk this area almost every morning and this part of the woods has gotten worse with trash and encampments.
Walking through the park this afternoon and found a used syringe NEXT TO THE PLAYGROUND EQUIPMENT. I cleaned that and multiple empty/half full bottles of liquor and cans of beer up, as well as packs of cigarettes and other nicotine products, some of the boxes still had products in them. Oh and condoms. On the playground. We are spending a lot of money to upgrade this "park", it would be great if the city would do something about the junkies that have taken it over. Your "security patrol" came and timidly took some pictures with his phone to make it look like he did something, idk. We are begging the city to do something about the junkies, they are migrating in to the neighborhood and causing problems. Please spend some of that money actually cleaning this park up.
More uncapped needles on the playground. Trash everywhere. Restrooms a mess with needles. Please do something! More patrols, anything. It's getting out of hand, and making the neighborhood feel unsafe.
Light in the NE corner of the park, where the small upper pavilion/picnic area resides has been out for nearly a year. I complained this spring, but it is still dark and at night can hear people, but they are not visible. I have an anxious dog who can protect me, but it is unsafe.
Weed between sidewalks a concrete wall.
Broken glass on sidewalk, has been there for over a week
While walking through the park I observe acholic being consumed regularly. Empty alcohol bottles left on tables in pavilions. I changed my walking path at night because of unhoused sleeping on playground and at both pavilions. The park is becoming more and more unsafe.
I let you know second family restroom lock I don’t know why
Needle disposal at restroom overfill, making it unsafe and unsanitary
Broken glass on new path
