Scenes At The New Entrance To Our Most Popular Park

I came across this scene a few weeks ago in the entrance to Promenade Park.  The water fountain was on, its push button seemingly stuck.  3 hours later, the water was still flowing, so I forced the button out to stop the waste.

After just a year and a half, the several new benches in the park all look pretty much like this one:

The benches came painted.  One wonders if our DPW is waiting for the installers to return to repaint our benches so that they don't get any worse and don't look like crap for too much longer...

I also saw what looked like a group of out-of-town bicycle riders head to the top of the Promenade via the new ramp not meant for bicycles.  Of course, there isn't one sign trying to keep bicyclists off the ramp or the upper portion of the park, nor are there any bicycle racks at the entrance offering a place for visitors to securely park a bicycle and walk up the stairs or ramp to relax in the park and not worry about someone stealing their bike.  You get what you ask for, especially if you don't know what you are doing or you aren't paying attention.  Or both.



Is Robert Perry okay with skateboarders
and bicyclists jumping over or riding
down the stairs?
