Description
Douglas Park is a MESS...there are no swings, the surrounding fence is a rusty safety hazard, the sand is full or garbage, feces, and unknowns, and most of the kids in the neighborhood go to other parks to play now. A major face lift, or complete change to the park, would be so great for this community of families with small children. One idea would be to mimic Minneapolis Parks with their free, fenced in splash parks! Douglas Park seems like the perfect place for a splash park!

The police department could probably raise the money for several new parks by actually busting and make those people pay a fine.

Love the idea of a splash park!!!
The park is a mess that's for sure. I feel like all I do when walking through it is picking up other peoples trash – of which someone thinks that the trash receptacles in the park are their source of free garbage pick up.
There's always dog poop and graffiti around, the sand is not fit for any living thing! And that fence, let's just hope everyone has there tetanus shot up-to-date!!!! How many times do we have to try to get this fixed! Apparently years and years and years and years.....

I concur. Speaking with the OP it is apparent that this has been going on for nearly a decade with no resolution. I myself have been trying to get the city to address for about 2 years and NOTHING has been done. Actually it's worse than that - the sad attempts at addressing the problems with quick fixes have been subpar at best.
PLEASE STOP CLOSING THE ISSUE. It has not been resolved therefore cannot be closed.
Beyond that, the weather is a convenient excuse - none of these issues were addressed during the summer and the have been in existence for longer than that.
