Heather Thanks so much for letting us know about Wells Park. I have notified our patrol division about the issue of the homeless folks coming out after dark and they are going to look into it. With help of the City Managers office and Parks and Recreation, the City has removed some of the bushes around the park that the homeless would camp in. Hopefully, this will curtail some of that activity. We are constantly looking for ways to make all our City parks enjoyable for all. If you notice people drinking alcohol, smoking, and or committing any other crimes, please calls us at 619-579-3311.
As far as the issue with lighting, I would suggest you contact the City Managers office and let them know about the playground lighting. The phone number is 619-441-1716. I hope this helps.
Thanks very much,
