I live just across the hill from Sargent Park. I regularly walk with my dogs across the “old road” that connects Beech St and Main. There is a short path that runs behind the brick building down to the baseball field. That path used to have heavy brush blocking it from view from the ball field. After I reported finding used needles there and some other suspicious behavior the city cleaned out all the brush and cut the trees covering that hill. I applaud the city for their efforts to keep the city clean and safe for the people who live here
