The playground area at Schmalz Farm Park may need some attention. It has begun to be overgrown with weeds and crab grass in the playground area.
Thanks in advance for your help!

I don't like th enew pool pass system. I lost mine, and quite a bit of money as a result. Please go back to keeping them at the pool, or make them electronic somehow.

Caller reported several people camping out under the shelter at the Building & Trades Park. Suggested an unsafe environment, as one man was "hiding, wearing a heavy parka, with the hood pulled over his eyes." Frustrated as a tax-paying citizen at her perceived lack of safety at a public park.

Hi Park & Recs team! I wanted to file a complaint regarding trash from the softball teams that play at the Twin Lakes ball field. I live in the apartments behind those woods and often walk through that area. I think having the teams play there is great and I love watching them! However, after a night of playing the park is completely trashed with beer cars/boxes, wrappers and fast food bags. I love that they are having such a good time when they play but there are trash cans on the property that they are clearly not using and just basically making the area dirty for the rest of us. The picture attached is just a small amount I saw this morning, let alone the many other times throughout the summer that this has happened in and around the parking lot as well as the trails. Could we provide more trash cans for them? Or perhaps talk to the team captains about making an announcement. If that doesn't work and they can't clean up after themselves maybe sending a patrol officer to assist with cracking down on the tailgating. I would imagine it's illegal to drink alcohol in a public park but I'm not positive on the laws. Thanks so much for your help!

My wife was meeting a friend to run near the BBC on Dunn St. at 7:30am this sunday and reported that she observed an individual in the park urinating in the parking lot, people possibly sleeping overnight in the adjoining parking lot and then interacting with the park occupants, a pile of vomit in the lot, and individuals emptying trash from their vehicle onto the ground. All of these actions appear to be associated with the lack of bathroom facilities and security enforcement in and around Peoples Park. I can appreciate how difficult these situations could be but to have trash, human waste, and conspicuous disregard for the facilities and rule of law is frustrating. My hopes are that this can become part of your record to try and help build a critical mass of complaints to solve this ongoing problem for all residents, ensure public health and improve public safety. We love the parks but as it stands now there are 2 parks (Seminary and Peoples) I wouldn't dare venture into with my children or even feel comfortable in by myself and that does not seem fair that one population, albeit a struggling one, is able to abscond with something intended for everyone. Solutions are out there and I hope registering a complaint can help add support to any ongoing efforts to make resolving these situations possible.
