But this past year it is always so dirty. Today, June 26, when I took them, in the playhouse part near the dolphins with mist, I ac- tually saw condom wrappers. I am sure they are still there. Several weeks ago, maybe a month when a group of us took our kids, there were dirty diapers there, had been there 3 weeks we knew of. Trash everywhere. One COMMUNITY COLLEGE for New and Returning Students July 16 - 19 & July 23 - 26 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/ClevelandCC of clevelandcc.edu of the mothers actually called city hall and complained so much, they sent a crew. out to clean. Who is responsible for the. playground? No one seems to be taking care of the trash. Have teenagers took over at night or what? I cannot believe some _ people are so nasty. I did not want my grandkids playing were someone has been having sex. - I also hate it when we are there and all these big kids come in running, they run over small kids. What age group is this park for? I know this is hatd to con- trol, but no one seems to be keeping an eye on'it. I think it should be 12 and under.’.at least. Also a man must have de- signed this playground. No where to sit and NO SHADE. Of course I know if I do nat like it I do not have to go. But lots of people use this park. I think we are going to have to get . togethér and do something. Thanks for letting me vent. Becky Bowen Kings Mountain RENAE DORN SIH Se Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/ClevelandCC
