Yes, I read the times and it would be great to integrate the SCF widget.

I would hope this is the best channel to alert the party resposible for fixing it (in this case city parks and rec). I would also expect other watchdog groups and the local media to highlight major issues.

Thanks,
Ben

Barabara, thanks for that information. I hope that this serves as notifying the city of my concerns, and that the city will deal with this promptly.

I have already sent it to the Director of Recreation and Parks to remedy, thanks.

Graffiti that was painted on playground equipment in Big Chimneys Park has been removed but graffiti that was scratched or carved onto surfaces will have to be painted. Anyone who sees graffiti on park equipment --- or any other concern -- can report it directly to the City for quick response: click on "contact us" on the City web site, www.fallschurchva.gov, or email info@fallschurchva.gov or call 703-248-5004. While "The Daily Gripe" says this complaint was reported more than 100 days ago, the Washington Post only launched this feature recently. City Recreation and Parks staff patrols the City's 10 parks daily and any graffiti that appears on park equipment is usually removed within a day or two.

Thanks for that update, Barbara.

This has been fixed.
