Government Grrrrrrrr...

Not far from our home there is a great little park. There is a nice playground, and a bike trail that goes right past it. Big trees provide shade in the summer. But this park has a major flaw, sadly it is encumbered by the fact that it falls under the jurisdiction of the government of the United States of America. Inside this locked building there are toilets, working toilets, with plumbing and running water. I know this because recently one of the mom's on my soccer team gained access to the building and flushed.... But alas, this building is not ADA compliant, as a result the law requires that this building be locked.



While the above building remains securely locked, the city parks department has made this fine accessible unit available.



For the scores of soccer and football practices that are held weekly at this park, there is a single handicapped accessible port-a-potty. I coach two soccer teams, a total of four weekly practices, at this park, for these kids, there is no place to wash their hands. But at least everything is perfectly fair??? Grrrrrrrrrr....
