Users beware. Watch where you sit and make sure your kids don’t get close. City was informed and ordered a new bench but still left rusty metal exposed.

I am blessed having a fabulous location to walk 4-5 days a week and see the good morning folks each and every time. I believe we have one another to look forward to. An occasional check after the monsoons have driven the sands down toward a number of drains would benefit Scafca in their efforts to keep the sewers less problematic. Thank you Rio Rancho
