Took my little baby girl to the park for a nice stroll next to the hanover pond but thats filthy with garbage lining it and bouncing in the water. Avoiding bird, dog and possibly human mines we made our way to the play area only to find hypodermic needles under the jungle gym. I mean c'mon you must be kidding me, now families living in Meriden are restricted to their backyards if they want to relax and enjoy a good day, god forbid you venture into any city park.
Either take care of the parks, or just completely neglect them and save taxpayer grief and money.

No money for regular city maintenance obviously. Pet projects like renovatons/additions take priority in these tough economical times.
Quite sad that putting an addition on schools while other more used areas of Meriden become safety hazards, unkept, unmaintained. J
I keep wondering ust what is that the paid maintenance workers do to earn their paycheck. I see no evidence that yearly city maintenance is being performed, where are the workers and equipment hidden? Our city lacks proper management for sure. Raise the mil rate for special projects only when so many people are unemployed, its shameful

Appearance of our city and these postings is not a figment of our imagination. I noticed you defend against my comment by stating if I were in the park I would have seen a down tree being removed. Obviously you were so consumed with attacking my comment you must have lost sight that someone reported "hypodermic needles" in children's play area.
As to posting anonymously......theres no way I'm making my name public, I truly fear retaliation. If the Police union attempts it (email sent out urging officers to submit complaints against two officers is allowable) I can't imagine what a homeowner might have to endur.
City in deplorable condition that has a very tarnished image.
Its just an overall sad situation here in Meriden

I give up! Your post regarding the original post of this issue stated nothing about the needle observed at this park. No mention of needles not found in your comment on this post but you did mention that on the Hubbard Park issue reported. In your comment placed in this issue you just stated workers were at this park to remove a fallen tree. Never addressed concern of the citizen in reporting she observed needle
" Except for the initial study of the high schools done several years ago, there have not been any funds expended on those projects and the projects have had no impact on the budget nor on the mill rate. Had you been in Habershon Park today you would have seen equipment and workers removing a very large tree that fell recently. I would be happy to arrange for you to spend a day with any of our city crews if you serioulsly want to see what they do. Making broad statements based on no knowledge anonymously on the internet is easy to do but does not contribute anything to improving our community. "

Amazingly, I can honestly state that all posts were not present at the time of my response nor did I receive timely emails alerting me to response made (and still haven't) Obviously somewhere in cyberland responses were held up while more recent found its way to post. With that, I do apologize for my out-of-timed response but do not take responsiblity for the problem. I have noticed on myrecordjournal.com changes have been in the process, perhaps, this caused responses to not post in a timely manner.
Perhaps the internet liability issues might be a good reason that these forums can cause issues like this and from now on we should all keep that in mind
Although the internet is great researching things it is not reliable as far as situations such as this chain of events. Again, I apologize but I still stand behind my opinion of this City being allowed to deteriorate. Can not change that opinion of mine
With regard to originial post concern of needle sighting of the original post, I know I use a homemade sifter to clear the soil in my garden and they sell kiddie ones for the beach, you may want to consider taking one with you (be sure to wear thick soled steel toed boots) when visiting child playareas, better safe than sorry

"I visited and walked the park today after this was posted. I did not see any hypodermic needles in either play area" How can so many people be stating the same issue?
Time to safely pick up those needles and drop them off at "the office"

For the flooded parks, for trash all over town. Isn't public works department supposed to pick up the City trash. Wallingford does.
