Take out the trash!

Just try to drive down Santa Monica on a Saturday morning by Lindsley Park. Cars are parked on both sides of the street while Mom, Dad and kids are running around everywhere playing soccer, grilling and having birthday parties among other things. The pathway between cars is so narrow that a suburban can barely make it through much less two cars trying to go in opposite directions. But the parking near the park is another story.

It is obvious by the number of people at the park on Saturday and Sunday that it is a popular weekend activity. But drive by on a Monday morning and it looks like a war zone. The amount of paper plates, napkins, water bottles and beer bottles (which incidentally are illegal in Dallas Parks) is sickening.

Doesn't it seem like it would be a better use of the Parks and Rec departments time and money to mow, seed, landscape and repair the athletic equipment than spend their Mondays cleaning up litter?

Do your part, pitch in. If we need more trash cans, lets figure out a way to make that happen.
