Yeah I had a discussion with my city councillor about this same thing after walking through a ravine path/dog off-leash area with no benches or garbage cans or anything.

I was fine, but I was with my friend has trouble standing for long periods. We ended up bussing back because he couldn’t rest anywhere.

Apparently the last councillor had them removed for this reason and he’s going to try to get them back with next year’s budget.

They’re now working on figuring out how to remove the ground altogether

From what I've seen of him, I'm not even sure if he's evil enough. XD

Having nice things is why we can't have nice things.
