A few days ago my son and his big dog unexpectedly came to visit me. It was about noon. I wasn't home so they decided to wait for me by going to the park. They started to walk past a tree near the children's playground when my son spotted broken beer bottles, perhaps enough glass from 12 beers, and many used syringes just lying on the ground. He turned around and left the park because he did not want to run the risk of having his dog step on glass or a syringe. He said it looked as if a group had a beer/drug party. Of course, I am glad he left before his dog got hurt, but I am concerned about our kids playing in the park.

Should anyone see this sort of thing happening or know of it - please call the police immediately. I realize they need to be ''caught in the act'' before anything can be done.
