Too bad they don't sell off, or hold an auction for all that firewood that was created. It is an avenue of revenue neither the borough nor the park trustees have considered. Taking into account that a cord of firewood is close to $200 .............

There are still way too many dead trees in that park. It's frustrating when I'm walking, biking, or driving around it. The Borough should really spend some time/money removing the eyesores. It could be much better asthetically.

Our park is soo beautiful!!!Have to agree with "future old angry Italian man" The Boro should spend time& money on it...Carl it will never look the same..Also question?????maybe someone could answer about our beautful park!!!Why arent you allowed sports have a game of softball,baseball or football with some friends on a Sunday????Their has been a group of men some professionals,buinessmen.Goin out playing football every Sunday for over 10years...Just having so much fun before a Sunday NFL game....Not hurting ANYBODY now they get told NO ONE can play sports on a Sunday in our park..Please tell me the reason behind...Present Young Angry Italian Gal

So many angry people, so many wrong ideas.

First Collingswood doesn't own Knight Park. It was left in the will of Knight to the people of Camden County, it is controlled by a group of trustees.

It's only in the past 15 years or so that the boro of Collingswood has put any money toward it or supplied help in the way of public works. Mr Knight left in the neighborhood of $90,000 for the upkeep of the park, the money ran out after about 90 years.

Most of the money for the upkeep comes from private contribution and fund raisers.

As to Carl, he sat in his truck and watched people doing community service clean up the park, personally watched his act first hand for years. The trash cans were not emptied from November to April.

In closing feel free to contribute money, pick up litter walking through the park as many of us do already. Contact Mike Hall at Collingswood.com to sign up for the next park clean up. Bring your own tools, gloves and fuel for your leaf blowers.

The trees that were cut down were dead and full of rot and bugs, not good firewood. The wood is free for the taking, please take it and do what you like.

The free ride in over people the town is broke. You can sit around at your computer complaining about conditions or get out and help solve the problems, were not Democrats any more.

Sorry Porter, spill over from an other board I post on, much more aggressive than this one.

Re-reading the post I wish I had left it out.
