Twin Lakes Sports Park
- Case Date:

Parking lot at TLSP
What can Parks do to help stop the illegal setting off of fireworks on Parks property. This is a violation of State laws and local ordinances. The police come and just tell them to stop and leave. Leaving trash for parks staff to clean up and let alone the fire danger during drier conditions.
The spontaneous truck and sports car meet ups that take place around town and also at Twin Lakes ball field parking lot. There is drinking, underage drinking, and drugs.
They also have been doing donuts and burns in the past which harms the pavement z as no striping. Again the police come and tell them to leave. There have been promoter/ organizers for these “street / parking lot takeovers “Maybe some fines and payment for the damages would help. I know parking lot striping is not cheap. Maybe the City could put ing a street / parking lot take over ordinance similar to Indianapolis. Which has escalating fines for participating and spectators, long payment for damages.
I know for years the parks has let drink beer after ballgames has as an exception to the no alcohol in certain parks rule. Now some of the teams have been smoking pot a long with drinking beer after ballgames and then driving can not be a good thing to have out on the road.
Thanks

There has been a grove of mature sassafras trees along the edge of the upper field at Olcott. This field is on the right as you enter the park from the road, and the grove is at the back of this field. Most of them are now dead, and the remaining ones are partially dead. Is this caused by a disease? Should some sort of action be taken?

On the B Line trail, the shelter that is between WonderLab and the Hyatt: this is turning into an encampment. I see open drug use while passing by each day. There is increasing trash on the ground, bikes chained to light poles, people arguing, etc. And this is mere feet from a children's museum, not to mention in the middle of downtown. I know it's a public space but these people are claiming it for their own and creating an unsafe situation. Thank you.

The restroom closest to the accessible parking at the lower Cascades playground has a clogged and overflowed toilet. It appears that the other restroom in the building is locked and unusable. So there are no restrooms on a Sunday at lower Cascades. Yeah I don't think

There is a green/gray tent up towards the hill on the northwest interior of the Winslow Woods Nature park. Up a steep hill after crossing the small "river", halfway through the loop where the trail splits in 2. Smelled smoke nearby and noticed it the past few times I been up there.
