Ugly Park Management in Mobile

There are not very many rules in City of Mobile Parks. Because there is little if any enforcement of the Park rules, Park rules are highly abused.

No parking on the grass? Because this rule is not enforced Mobile parks can be very muddy because the grass has been destroyed by people driving and parking all over the park's grass.

No littering? This is the Ugly City of Mobile's Helen Wood Park. This Ugly consequence is the result of Park neglect by the City of Mobile.

Littered City of Mobile McNally Park. In Mobile, these Blue Barrels mark the spot where people are suppose to toss their trash on the ground.

Littered Shoreline of the City of Mobile's Dog River Park. The sorry ass Park maintainers cut the shoreline weeds and ignore the trash.

Nothing changes in Mobile's parks when it comes to the gross neglect of enforcement of park rules and park maintenance. The end result are Ugly fucking parks in the Shitty of Mobile. Welcome to Mobile, the City of Trash and home of the growing population of Litter Chunkers and apathetic City leaders.

McNally Park

Plenty of loose trash left on the ground a couple hundred feet away from Perch Creek at McNally Park. This is what happens when trash receptacles are dysfunctional.

Dysfunctional meaning the garbage receptacle is not securely covered. There are still open slots for scavenger animals to access the trash.

Dysfunctional meaning the garbage can has only narrow slots in it prohibiting the public from tossing larger objects such as a full bag of trash in the can. This causes people to leave larger trash on top of the garbage receptacle or on the ground.

The City of Mobile's archaic dysfunctional garbage receptacles at their City parks often yields the results seen above. Trash pollution next to waterways. That is Ugly!

Ugly Park Garbage Service

Typical Scene at parks in Mobile is overflowing open barrel garbage cans with no lid on them.

The consequence of the City of Mobile's not frequent enough garbage collection is the polluting of the nearby waterway which in the above photo is Mobile Bay. 

Trash blown from this overflowing garbage can is scattered next to the water.

The City of Mobile merits another award for  its Continued pollution of Mobile Bay in violation of the federal Clean Water Act. Welcome to Mobile, Alabama, USA, known as the Mobile Bay of Pigs. 

I am so proud of how Mayor Sandy Stimpson and the Mobile City Council have gotten so tough on littering as promised two years ago. Now the City of Mobile can wallow in glory for being the biggest asshole responsible for polluting Mobile Bay because it is too cheap to use garbage cans with lids on them and too cheap to empty their overflowing garbage cans.

Predictable Reporting

Strong winds from the southeast and rain raised the coastal water levels. As usual the local media outlets head to the Causeway and Dauphin Island. They show predictable video of water and debris on the roads and parking lots with 6 inches of water in them.

Here are some reality images you will never see the local media broadcast because they are afraid to offend the City of Mobile which contributes greatly to the waterway trash pollution.

Even though high winds and flooding waters were forecast days before the City of Mobile left their overflowing garbage cans in the flood zone. Wind eventually blew this can over spreading trash into the water at McNally Park.

The half dozen or so trash cans, several overflowing with trash, at Helen Wood park were turned over and swept into the wetlands along with two porta-potties. There are two cans in this image but hard to see. It sure was irresponsible for the City of Mobile to ignore trash and sewage objects subject to flooding when flooding was predicted.

Of course, when waters get high and the wind blows a lot of Dog River residents will find a ring of trash along their shoreline when the waters recede.

Here is the densely littered shoreline of Arlington Park (Mobile Bay shoreline) seen from the wooden walkway. Much of this trash was already in the wetlands. High water raised the floatable litter and winds blew it all further inland.

The ugly view of trash in Mobile River next to Cooper Riverside Park. This is what visitors to the new 60 or so Million Dollar GulfQuest Museum get to see.

The shoreline at Mobile Convention Center is littered with trash.

Even a small gap in the Bayfront Road seawall allowed waves to wash debris on the road. Included in that debris is trash washed all the way into the grass on the other side of the road.
