Various parks <br />were then mentioned as either being done or were on a list to be done. I would like to thank you <br />for noticing the omission of the Santiago Park restrooms. It appeared the answer that was <br />provided didn’t adequately answer your concern. <br /> <br />It is my belief the current Santiago Park renovation covers the area from the Lawn Bowling <br />heading west to the log cabin area, and maybe the Main Street park entrance. The recent grant <br />money we heard about will address the area from the Santiago Bridge east to the 22 Freeway <br />overpass. What appears to be overlooked is the area between these two projects, the area from <br />the Santiago Bridge to the Lawn Bowling Center, i.e., the ball field and tennis courts. <br /> <br />Next to the ball field there is a non-functioning restroom which is always locked due to vandalism <br />and homeless issues. It has been this way for several years. While public works stated last night <br />the restroom issue was being addressed, I believe they were only referring the restrooms located <br />next to the playground equipment. I could be wrong. <br /> <br />Can you please confirm the restroom facility next to the ball field is covered by current funding <br />and if not, seek to have Revive funding fix this restroom. The kids have been without a <br />functioning restroom for way too long. It seems to me that Revive funding would be an ideal <br />way to correct this problem. <br /> <br />Thank you for your thoughtful consideration. Stay safe, stay healthy. <br />Respectfully, <br />Dale A Helvig <br />Resident, Santa Ana
