Open Question On City Park Part 2

I took another walk around the City Park area, from Ben's Red Swings to the end of the park at Snow Hill Rd, and took some of the comments into consideration. Looking a little more closely and in some new places I found some more stuff that is detracting from the area. I'll have my opinion on the shoreline growth later, but I appreciate the comments from the posters. Thank you.






These are two groups of leftover bio-logs just sitting around. Why are they still around and not been used? They are laying next to the water treatment plant.







This is the area which from one my first picture showed partially. The bio-logs were originally stored here and clearly the area has not been fully cleaned up or improved. It's quite a large area with a pile of matting and there is matting sticking up from the sand.

Again things are looking a tad bit fallow and things are not picked up or finished. It does not look good. Bunch of little things add up. Just showing you all that it was more than just perceived overgrown banks.

So I'll ask the question again what is planned for the park in renovations/maintenance/clean up? Where are we going to be after this year?

I'll have more to come.

  1. Sir:

    This and the equally deplorable state of the downtown plaza is the result of using limited city funds for such things as the Salisbury Festival and now the "All-American City" contest and a "dog park", as well as over expenditure in general (just looks at the Mayor's Office and City Attorney funds in the budget). And the Zoo is getting almost $1 Million. Perhaps some of that funding could be better spent elsewhere in the City Park and other locations.

  2. It looks like much of Salisbury, like crap.

  3. It looks like an open, unstabilized, grading operation with a failing silt fence. You should call the local soil conservation district or inspections office.
