BONG FOUND IN MESSY PARK IS BREAKING POINT

I frequently take my son to Personna Park, which for the most part is
spectacular.

The grounds are beautifully maintained and the playground equipment
is immaculate.

However, the way the grounds are treated by the people using the park
is horrific. The playground area is littered with cigarette butts
(perfect for babies to chew on), despite the fact bins are provided
throughout the park.

Although I find this extremely annoying, my breaking point was
reached when I saw my one-year-old son walking through the park
carrying what seemed to be a water bottle. It turned out to be a
homemade bong, a device used to smoke drugs.

Who knows what was smoked through this bong? Pot? Crack cocaine?

What's next? Needles distributed throughout the park, putting our
children at risk of contracting a variety of unmentionable diseases?

I know this is common in a lot of parks throughout the Toronto area,
but Personna Park?

I notice a lot of adults spend time relaxing and having lunch at the
park. They drive there and I can't help but wonder who's responsible
for this mess.

If you are using our park, please treat it with the respect it
deserves and have consideration for the residents and children of the
Cachet area.
