North City Park — Attraction in Shoreline

Currently, a Haven for Heroin usage and Distribution, and other illegal drug activity, and Homeless usage. Have just organized with Shoreline Parks to Clean and Monitor Cleanliness, and open Safety View. Also, Shoreline School District has just added a new position for Night Security of all Shoreline District Locations. This Park, and surrounding area of the Shared Old North City Elementary School, Soccer Field, and Park, have Security after Dark Daily, to reduce, and hopefully nullify, any illegal activity in this area. Local Neighborhood Block Watch, Chaired by Myself, covers Multiple Daily and Nightly Security of the Entire Area Located at the Park, Soccer Field, and School to Remove Illegal Drug, Alcohol, and Drug Distribution in the Area, and All Parties Noted have created a Full Agreement from Shoreline City Police to Provide Active Responses to Calls, from all Agencies and Neighborhood Watch Calls, to Clear Activities in the same area that are illegal or suspicious in activity. My belief is that the Neighborhood has created optimum usage of groups to make this Nice Park, Fully Useable Safely by All Neighbours and Visitors to the Park Areas Daily, without any Fear of Safe Walking, and Enjoyment of the Parks Loveliness, Great Walking Areas, and Bird Watching, and other uses People will Like...Paul Bates, 11 January, 2014, Neighborhood Watch...
