A total of $12,000,000 of taxpayer’s money to provide a homeless encampment.

The renovation of Snow Park was funded by twelve million dollars of taxpayer’s money. Sad to see the condition of the park now.

The Snow Park camp grows and now includes open fires at night. This is dangerous! Please clean it up

I walk through it almost every morning forest bathing under the beautiful trees. I especially love the spreading live oaks. Recently, I have enjoyed distanced and masked meetings with family there. The renovations, including the wonderful crosswalk to the lake and the extension that includes the picnic tables and Makkeweks plus the beautiful new landscaping make me happy every day. Prior to COVID my great-grandchildren enjoyed the playground equipment and tot lot. Now I see adults exercising in the morning, using the equipment. What a treasure this park is! After the renovation, as we walked through the park looking at the lake, my son remarked, “This is like a resort!”
