Descrição
The mulch in the playground is dangerously low. It has not been replaced in years. As you can see, it is 6 inches BELOW the minimum height requirement as noted on the playground equipment. There is CONCRETE under some of this equipment and kids are hurting themselves. The last batch of mulch that was delivered was about 4 years ago and was barely enough to cover the area. It was dumped next to the slides and that was it. Myself and a neighbor raked it into the area. The Parks Dept. needs to take care of this themselves (including the raking) before a child is seriously injured and they have a big lawsuit on their hands.

Keeping this open. The ground under the playsets is DANGEROUS. All the water this winter has caused the ground to sink even further below the minimum mulch requirements for safety.
A child is going to get hurt. This must be attended to this spring. In addition, the designated mulch area has shrunk do to no maintenance -- Mother Nature is taking over and grass is growing in all of the expose areas.

Hi Moxie,
I can see the status of this issue has not yet been changed from "Open" to "Acknowledged". That means nobody employed with our city has seen it. Most issues for our Parks Department are acknowledged within a few days from the time they are reported.
This issue was reported 87 days ago. It looks like it fell through the cracks. Sometimes that happens. Your best bet would be to call someone with our Parks Department. If you choose to do so, their phone number is 203-946-8027 or 203-946-8020.
I hope this information helps.
