In a city that appears to be on the come up in some areas, most other areas seem to be forgotten or not paid attention to.

One such place is an area in the heights where many children go to play and interact with others.

This is one of the few places that they have to go with their parents and friends to have some fun outdoors.

The Pershing Field Park Playgrounds are in horrible condition, with many hazardous holes on the ground and much of the area needing serious maintenance

The parents and families of Jersey City Heights demand something be done

If you don't care about the children and the families of your own city, who is it that you DO care about?

This is not the first time this has been mentioned, but it looks like it has fallen on deaf ears

Where is the concern for the kids of this city? Why are they not a priority?

Here are images of one child that was cut while she was playing within this playground:
