Aesthetically, this park is beautiful, and the volunteers at the Senior Centre are always friendly. The city and many people cite the park as an unofficoal off-leash dog park, despite signs saying to keep your dog on a leash at all times, and according to Washington state leash laws, is a completely illegal claim and use of the park. No one seems to care, despite my leashed pet being attacked multiple times.

The police frequent the park, and harass anyone that doesn't look right to them. No one in the park calls them, I swear- I've sat near an obviously homeless man, keeping to himself, and an officer came in, parked facing us, and just sat for over a half an hour. The man did nothing- just sat, reading a book or poking his phone, no litter, wasn't smoking. The officer came out of the car and asked the man to move along. The man was surprised, and asked why. The officer CLAIMED that SEVERAL people had called for days about an "eyesore". I had visited the park consecutively for several days, and this was the first I saw him.

There's no smoking signs everywhere, and three people were smoking near the children's playground, but the officer couldn't be bothered with them. I've seen many more incidents like this at this park. It's disgusting, and the people using the park take it for granted.

Poop EVERYWHERE, and it reeks of urine of all species. Restrooms have been closed, and I've overheard people tell their children to "just use the bushes".
