Problems in Cherokee Park

There are many things that catch the eye when I am in Cherokee park. Whether it be running on a trail or walking from my car, there are often things that catch my attention. The first thing that I recognize seldom is vandalism on the bathroom walls in the area. That is not so much specific to the trails I use though. When I am on the trails I see litter. It takes away from the beauty of the wooded lands. There are also paths that have been made by people straying off the made paths. These are most likely to common hang out spots by teenagers. These off course trails harm the woods and animals who settle there.
