Spring Street Park — Attraction in Los Angeles

Meh.

Any park that is mainly concrete or pavement is not a park; it's a re-purposed parking lot.

Though the developers who helped create this park claim it is mainly for children, it is not child friendly. There's a small corner of the park with "toddler playground" equipment, but it is not grassed in, the creator or designer chose to use a cushy foam instead.

The pet care in and around the park needs to be augmented to include pest abatement, specifically flea and tick control. My dogs continually catch fleas at the Spring Street Park. I can bet on that everytime i take them to that park they come home with fleas, sometimes ticks too! We would like to see the city address the current problem of this issue as it is not an issue with other city parks that I know of in my...
