Giant families and dirty diapers all partying down in the water. I can&#8217;t imagine the trash left there afterwards.<br \/>\nI know it&#8217;s 4th of July weekend but man. Can&#8217;t COA weedwack these trails and send park police out to keep folks from littering? It could be such a nice area with some carekeepers. Looks Like Friends of Bull Creek has disbanded in 2014 after the pres moved away. Maybe the city doesn&#8217;t want mtb around there so they aren&#8217;t tempted to poach preserve areas?
