Add locking gates to Yellowstone Park (Katzman Playground)


Add locking gates to Yellowstone Park (Katzman Playground)
The Issue
Yellowstone Park (Katzman Playground) is a popular playground in Forest Hills offering swings, sprinklers and multiple play structures designed for children of all ages. It is a wonderful outdoor destination for local parents and caregivers, however a potential hazard exists. There are three gates opening directly to busy city streets that are locked in the open position all day long. Allowing these gates to be opened and closed and installing a locking mechanism on each one would create a much safer play space.
Other playgrounds throughout the city have this safety feature. Please help us make this great park safer and potentially prevent a wandering child from heading out of the playground and into traffic.
