Description

Fossil Park provides picnic tables & covered shelters for people to gather to eat & drink, but fails to provide a restroom. The result is park visitors urinating/defecating into the lake & canal 15. The area in question is the narrow path on the north side of the lake, which is overgrown & underused. Can the city provide 2 port-o-lets for the public ? Or, open the restrooms near the ballfields/concession area ? or refer folks to use the library ? Can they trim the shrubs and/or put a paved walkway back there so that the area becomes well used & is not so secluded ? Remove the picnic tables & shelters ? It is quite unsanitary for adults & children , especially since there are active outbreaks of hepatitis A & Corona virus . In addition, this raw sewage is contaminating the waterways which are in place to ensure drainage & protection from storm surges & flooding. Most other city parks have restrooms, and Fossil Park needs to address this ongoing issue.
