Fence to keep out the dogs
Brian has assigned Joe Eschweiler to look after the park litter and various maintenance tasks, in addition to Joe's jobs in other parks. Joe has lots of experience as a scout leader and an outdoorsman, and he is very ready to turn his hand to whatever needs doing. In the first week of may, Joe will begin to repair the farm fence around the playground.

Playground rain shelter
Fixed electrical outlet box
This is one of four lockable benches the Planning and Development Division's architect designed for our rain shelter. The benches were constructed in such a way that they would never accept a secure lock, only a flimsy one. (We tried to protest about this to the city's project supervisor, Peter Didiano, but he was pretty sure we were full of baloney, I think, and should keep our noses out of park business.) We finally nailed three of the bench-boxes shut but we can't do that with the fourth, which houses the electrical outlet (often used in the summer). The Parks Division carpenters have tried to fix the broken locks many times, always with the same flimsy replacement lock, and it's always broken again soon after. It seems to have become a game for the kids, and no wonder -- easy as pie.
