Also handed out was a report on the attendance at Silver Lake Beach. This was for information only. The residents attending the meeting had some questions about the parks and the parking area at McKenna Park. Do we have Park Police? Why on Friday and Saturday nights (from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m.) do we hear loud voices and people hanging around the parks? Parking is a problem at 48th and Washington during ball games - people park at such an angle that any fire or rescue truck would have a problem getting around them. Also, a concern was the recent fire in a trash barrel at the park. Salsbury informed the residents he would talk to the Police Chief about the noise on Friday and Saturday nites. He stated that parking is a problem, however, he stated they could paint the corners. He also stated that they are replacing the open barrels in the parks with covered barrels.
