In every budget year, there is a fixed amount of money for the County to spend. A lot of it goes to law enforcement, the judicial system, penions of retired employees, libraries, animal shelters, etc. Upgrading park facilities is probably furthest down the list of priorities, AND, Riverside County is a pretty big county, stretching all the way out to the Arizona border.
The Home Owners Association there ought to be able to help out. Perhaps this can be discussed at your next HOA meeting.
Also check out La Ladera Park, at the west side of town. Lots of benches, tables, and shade there.
Steve,This is just a matter of attending a Menifee MAC meeting, and voicing your opinion. You can also contact Supervisor Stone's Menifee field office, and talk to his assistants there.
I was wondering who we would need to contact to get park benches installed at Wheatfield Park. I have taken my kids their numerous times but theirs no place for the adults to sit and watch their kids. Unless we sit on a swing, slide or on a step near the woodchips. I see lots of parents doing this and it’s very uncomfortable. We also need a running water fountain and more shade for the adults and kids. I’m not sure who designed the concept of Wheatfield Park but parents need to have somewhere to put their things down so they can enjoy watching their kids play.
In addition, I have noticed a lot of graffiti on the play set out there and my eight year old is old enough to read these comments. Some of the comments are very foul... So who keeps these parks in accordance?

Why?
ReplyDeleteSo more gang members or trouble makers have a place to sit!
I carry a tin of denatured achohol and a rag in my truck. It works real well on removing grafiti.
