Councilor,
Sir/Madam I am sending this letter to you informing you about the problems with our local park. First off I am a single mother of two children. We live on White Oak Road, just two blocks from the park. We frequent the park at least six days a week. I have two big concerns with the park.
The first major concern I have is we do not have a leash law in our town. More and more people are moving in around the area. Along with all of those new people are their pets, which most families have. I have no issues with that but it increases the dangers of the park with no leash laws. Just the other day I saw a large dog attacking a smaller dog in the park. It was almost a minute before the dog owner got the bigger dog off the smaller dog, it had blood all over the smaller dog’s neck but it did not seem that bad. This is just one instance of this but from talking to the rest of my neighborhood they are concerned with this issue as well. We would like to see the leash law in place before a child or anyone else gets attacked by the dogs around the park.
The second area for concern is the shape of the play equipment on the park. The equipment is getting very run down and looking very dangerous to play on. Just last week the jungle gym collapsed when there were three kids playing on it. They did not get hurt from it since they were on the lower part of the bars. They could have gotten really injured if they were on the top of the bars. I think it would be wise to make a small contract for someone to come out and inspect the park every month or so to verify that everything is safe and will not cause any harm to anyone that plays in the park. Also in the contract for them to rebuild whatever is unsafe to play on so the park stays nice for everyone’s use in the neighborhood. Thanks for your time and look forward to hearing your ideas and fixes.
