Dear Parks Department,

We all know that you are in charge of many parks that require constant cleaning and understand that there is a lot to do. Due to the high volume of trash that is constantly thrown around the parks and streets of New Haven we know that it is hard to keep up. This is coming from someone who tries to help you out each day. At this time I am asking . . . no begging for your help with the park located on the corner of Blake and Stone Streets. No matter how often we clean up our street and the park it just seems to keep getting worse. Please help us help you by cleaning the park at least once a week. Often throughout the summer the park is neglected by your department for weeks at a time. We do notice a much higher use of drugs and dumping when the streets and parks are neglected. This tell those individuals that we do not care and that there is no one monitoring the area. We are trying very hard to keep our neighborhood beautiful so that many can use the picnic area and playground without being surrounded by trash. Please respond to let us know that the issue is on your radar.
