Elk River Park — Attraction in Elkton

This place used to be very nice. Until (young adults and older children) started to use it as a motel and dumping ground. Burned the bathroom and flipped it over is just a disgrace. Then the swings were taken out because they were destroyed. I really do feel sorry for the park rangers and parks and recreation people who really try hard to set up and maintain our parks and green spaces.
