Juniper Park Civic

Parks Dept is going to have to lock up the track and only open it up for special events. They do that with Grover Cleveland track on Seneca Ave and Dekalb Ave.

Put nail in the road

#1Take the bike and throw it to the ground. #2Step on the wheel and spokes of the front tire . #3Give bike back. #4Continue enjoying your walk or jog around track

Unfortunately some kids today have learned there’s not repercussions or penalties for their actions. Until someone gets injured or worse.

In the morning people with dogs

Thanks for saying something. We gotta get the message out. Cops cant do shit. They "busy" eith more serious calls. Honestly we gotta pick our battles on what we handle as a community and what we call cops for. Handle this in house

If authorities can’t stop people from recklessly riding bikes out in the open, what hope will there be for them to keep new bike paths behind homes safe if either the QueensWay or QueensLink is built? At a town hall in Forest Park on June 2, QueenLink proponents proudly listed Phil Wong one of their endorsers, but they couldn’t say how they would protect residents living next to the proposed new paths, and they didn’t know where the funding would come for the new park. It doesn’t make sense me to build a new park when the city isn’t keeping our existing local parks safe, clean and well maintained. Since Phil Wong represents homes that would abut the QueensWay or QueensLink, it would be nice if he would work to protect his constituents from likely dangers instead of endorsing a plan that would likely literally pave the way for those dangers to come to our back doors. Last year, he assured me that the QueensWay wouldn't be built in our lifetimes, but the city is planning to break ground on its first phase at the end of this year. I'm afraid that while he’s asleep at the wheel, the city will authorize irrevocable plans to build another section right behind our homes in the near future.

Adults have to stand up and speak out when they see this. Supporting Each other is the only way

Put a stick out like in Big Daddy

Follow them home and speak to their parents. Show them what their kids are doing. And put them on notice that the damages will come out of their pockets.

Well done!!

Yes, say something. Say something all of us together.

Great thst thru were called out. Hoke they listened

Unbelievable

Spike strips.

1 lil sign on the fence in front of the bleachers that reads “no wheels of any kind on the track “ something like that - NO ONE READS IT ! It’s facing the field - doesn’t matter nothing is enforced … 🤬🤬

Where is police?

Guess they can’t read

Don’t the parents recognize their kids. Really out of control between the track, park and on the street trying to have the cars hit them

Everyone says they want Park police, but don't realize that the Parks budget is tiny compared to other agencies. There was a push to get the city budget to allocate 1% to Parks which never happened.

Unreal that this occurring. Parents, teach your children where they should be riding in the park!

I'd recognize that voice anywhere. He was firm but respectful. They just don't listen. Or, they go away for a few and then return. It's such a shame to see that new track in such disrepair, but the kids aren't the only ones. Food vendors on the track as well. And, this is why we can't have nice things.

A little girl (pre-K) got knocked over and her arm got ran over today.

I run in Juniper Park and in the morning it's a designated free-for-all for people with dogs OFF LEASHES.. was the law changed with respect to leashed dogs?

How about providing tracks for bike riding. For chrissakes more kids ride bikes for more hours than hours spent running on the track. Dig up the running track to lay down bike track if you have to....
