the city needs to patrol this area more often and enforce traffic violations

I am at the dog park every day, all year, and the CoD definitely acts like it doesn't give a @#$%. All year round the dog park & skate park are busy (those skaters are HARD CORE), yet the city can't be bothered to have sanitary bathrooms or pick up the trash. Now that it's been nice for a few weeks the rest of the park is SLAMMED, but the public restrooms still remain closed (even though I was told elsewhere on this site that they'd be open on April 10th) & the garbage is piling up. Not that empty trash bins would help, as most of the park patrons just throw their garbage on the ground.

And then there is the traffic: All day on the weekends & during most evenings, motorcyclists drive recklessly all around the park, and there's always a Dodge Charger doing donuts or burnouts; where are the police? The CoD would make a killing if they just issued tickets to all these @#$%.

The CoD sucks. I was told, by a city employee on this website, that the public restrooms would open back up on April 10th; as of earlier today they are still closed. There is garbage everywhere, and there is no police presence in the evenings when people are driving recklessly all over the place. It is absolutely appalling.

bump.

Apparently my comments that criticize the city are being flagged, which is almost as appalling as the condition of Riverside Park.

It sure would be nice if the bathrooms were at least open...

Thank you for using Improve Detroit.
This has been sent to the City of Detroit’s General Services Department- Grounds Maintenance Department for handling.

Some people completely trashed the picnic area next to the skatepark/dogpark. Trash on the tables, on the ground, and even into the parking lot. Very sad to see.

FOR YEARS I'VE BEEN COMPLAINTING TO THE CITY ABOUT THE CONDITIONS IN THIS ARERA BUT NOTHING IS BEING DONE PEOPLE COME DOWN HERE AND ILLEGALLY PARK AND EXCEED THE SPEED LIMIT AND DISREGARD TRAFFIC SIGNS ON A DAILEY BASES
