Very dirty, homeless people all around it's not safe to be alone, or older!

I'm down ther almost everyday w/ the homeless. I help make sure it's cleaned up as much as I can. I leave them trash bags & evn sweep the trail 4rm under the bridge down 2 the crossing bridge & down 2 the tunnels. Yes alot of homeless reside ther, but 4 the most part they r very respectful. When people pass by they will say "incoming" that's 2 let others know 2 clear & get outa the way. They hav a line drawn under the bridge 2 make sure none of the stuff they have down ther is in the way. Jus bcuz they r homeless it doesn't make them savages! Say hi, smile, shake a hand, U may b suprised, they r people 2! Alot of them hav many skills! Think about it, they hav 2 survive on the outside, not only that, they wernt always in that situation! Life hapns! Don't think 4 a moment that it culdnt hapn 2 U! Matter of fact, if sumthn goes wrong w/ your bike while riding down ther, U can stop under the bridge & ask 4 help & they can fix it 4 U cuz it's like a bike shop down ther! Don't worry, they don't bite! They wuld b glad 2 help U! As far as my oppinion overall, it does need more lighting & it culd hav sum grassy areas like the 1 over by Washington & Lamb.

I think this place is awesome. There are some real cool post modern structures that provide a lot of shade. There are places to park or relax from hiking. This location is deep in the city and runs along the drainage canal, and everyone has access to it so I get you might see homeless people, but I didn't see anyone all day. We even did an awesome photo session next to the sculpture on Pecos that turned out amazing.

Went for a bike ride there with my girlfriend and had to turn around at the first bridge as the path goes under a bridge which was full of tents and homeless. Sure many homeless are nice, but you choose your situations of who to talk to and when. I'm definitely NOT risking riding past them under a dark bridge. Nope. You don't know if they're junkies and you gotta be smart and choose safety. We did a U-turn when we saw it and some of them started screaming at us from far.
