Description
More trash cans need to be added to the Sprinkler Park. Me and a few others cleaned the Sprinkler area this morning of all its trash and I left after 12pm. When I returned at 4pm it was DISGUSTING all over again. Used diapers, cups, cans, paper, food containers, you name it, all over the place. Please add more cans.
Also, can we get a warning sign with implementation. Something to the affect of keeping it clean and if the community can't abide by this rule then the Sprinkler Park will be shut off for a few days? It is NOT the parks responsibility to keep it clean, its the communities. If they cant help keep it clean then shut it down. The Sprinkler Park is a luxury that we all love but what good is it if it's nasty to be there.
Please, as a community, lets fix this!

Thank you so much for picking up the trash. This is an ongoing quality of life battle in West River ..
Picking up trash states clearly that you care, and sets a great example - and that makes a huge difference in changing the "norm". Even if there is more trash to be picked up ..
I agree more trashcans are needed throughout the park.

I support the idea of shutting the sundial sprinklers off for a few days if the area continues to be as messy as it is. (I went by about an hour ago, and I agree that it's disgusting. It's hard to believe that people could make such a mess in just an afternoon.) If you go this route, I have a few suggestions. 1. Ask Parks to put up a sign warning people that the sprinklers will be shut down if the mess continues (maybe that's what you're suggesting in the title of your post). 2. If they're shut down, put up a sign explaining why. 3. Work with Friends of Edgewood Park on this.
And thank you thank you thank you for cleaning up!
