Steinmetz Park; Hendrickson & Lenox

This park has a great design, but it has been seriously neglected for many years.
Board on bench missing.
Swing missing for at least one season.

This photo demonstrates a common problem with playground apparatus when they are not matted with mulch- standing puddles of water.

Make sure to bring your picnic basket to this park.

An old school slide. It is surprising that the insurance company did not make the City take this down. Steep stairs, short rails, fast metal and a height of 14 feet or so.

Get rid of this junk.
Geodesic domes should be at every playground.
Compare the safety features of this slide to the new one installed in Carrie Street Park.
There should be a working fence between the street and the playground to keep the little ones contained.


Exposed concrete and metal bolts are a safety hazard.
Another boarded up property waiting for an arsonist.
People like to sit on picnic tables when they barbecue.



Broken lampposts do not help.

The nets should be up by now, but the net posts do not even exist. The surface is in good shape.


A fine court



The elephant grass is invading- pushing out the cat-tails, a plant which contains many edible parts.

A great spider.
