Building Trades Park

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.

Switchyard Park - East Parking lot needs wayfinding signs to help navigate to the best path to get to a desired destination in the park. Other parts of the park would probably benefit from wayfinding signs, too.

Large dog park at Switchyard. You guys were so responsive to my recent report, I thought I would send you another one. You have at least 5 broken sprinkler heads that are leaking water. See attached file. I didn't walk the whole park. There may be others between the big hill and sun shade area. Otherwise park is great (once the mud hole is filled in)! Us dog owners love it. Thank you.

WRT #205296 - I have reported this in the past. Also, the city knows when students are moving in and out in August. Instead of leaving the heaps of trash by the ignorant or unwilling offenders (not asking for coddling), prepare the team for the excess and be ready with extra pickups, on the spot fines, knocking on doors to hand out the rules for example, to deal with this very predictable and temporary disturbance in the system.
