Please put a note for city parks on an AM call-out on Monday to check the water. It looks like someone was able to remove a security cap and turn the water on. It's right underneath the main divider near the courts. I was on hold with them. Have them come to turn the water off. I was able to turn it off, but they'll need to secure it in case someone comes back and turns it on again.
