Description
It's unbelievable that a public space, such as a youth sports field can be allowed to be misused in such an unhealthy way as a free spot to live and dump waste. All along the street is packed by motor-homes that are illegally parked and increase in number everyday. I do not feel safe letting my child ever get close to this space that apparently is supposed to be an exercise/competition field. This is a safe hazard situation and really needs to be taken care of as soon as possible!!!

thank you thank you for this post.
however, DON'T STOP USING THIS PARK or it will get worse.
...and bring your kids.
I tend the garden that volunteers have planted by the (locked) restroom building and see/know that the best hope for this park comes from people coming and being there as much as possible.
Lots of children actually do use this park all the time and their continued presence is the best hope that the city will find the will and resources to make such a well-used park into a habitable resource.
verdict: USE THIS PARK AND PUSH FOR IMPROVEMENT. in fact...
DEMAND IT...
the multitudes of users deserve better; this is where flatland Oaklanders and Lafayette soccer moms overlap - it's an important place!
ps I'm there nearly every Sunday at 2:00 to garden and meet neighbors. please come! the pupusas are great.
