To whom it may concern:
I was walking adjacent from the playground about 10feet for there and there was un-level concrete and a hole. My foot went into the hold and inverted itself and it sprained. I was able to hobble over to the far bench next to the trash can where I tried to sit down. I was unable
to because I was in 10+ pain.
I am nit sure how to file an incident report i. Regards to this hole at the playground. May I have an incident report sent to me, please?
And this also accounts for a reported and documented incident with the City of Palm Desert.
Have a blessed day.
