Dobbins park needs a gate to the jungle gym entrance.

I am a part of this big mom group here in Lakeland and the number one thing we all complain about with Dobbins is the jungle gym entrance. Small children tend to run out and if we aren’t watching a child is going to get hurt because it leads right to a road. 

I understand the need for inclusivity for all children and appreciate the wheel chair access, and I don’t want to take away from children with needs, this will help protect them and other children. 

I think there should be a gate securing the whole park within the jungle gyms and the zip line, because of the school that’s there, homeless people that walk around. and because it is so close to the road.

The gate should be a parent control gate, where small children can’t open it. For example, the gate from Barnet Park. I do love this Dobbins Park, and would love to see this park more secured. If we get enough people to sign this petition, we can show this to Lakeland city council and have safe and secure play!
