Begin forwarded message: Needles found in parks in Cambridge (reposted from Cambridgeportparents) <https://avonhillcambridge.nextdoor.com/news_feed/?post=15953714> 1d ago My 4yr old found syringes in Dana park a few weeks ago -- about a dozen in the bushes behind the basketball court, along with other paraphernalia. We called the police who said this has been a problem in all the local parks. My 4yo thought these were great toys since he had never seen them. You might want to proactively explain to your kids never to pick up such stuff. And another reason to make kids wear shoes in the parks. Sarah Calvo (Erie st)
