This is ridiculous. The fire pits have always been there and for the most part used respectfully. I'm tired of Lopez being designed for tourists and not the people who live here.

These fire pits are a vital community resource, linking us to a tradition humans have had for hundreds of thousands of years. Equitable access to this basic human experience is extremely important.

The firepits have been there for generations. Time to put them back, and not listen to the rumors that we didn't have them before. I believe that the new caretakers were taken advantage of since they didn't know.

Country parks must prioritize county residents. We have a vested interest in maintaining and caring for our parks and island.

As someone who’s great-great grandmother traveled in a longboat on the Salish Sea, it is especially offensive to know how increasingly unwelcome local residents are made to feel in deference to those who are visiting.

Locals have gathered around the fire pits for decades. It is an important part of bringing our community together and is not just for tourists! Please bring back the fire pits.

Fire pits have been available to locals for the 30+ years I have been a full-time resident of Lopez.

We need access to Odin park. The tax paying locals should have the same privileges as the tourist. We want our fire rings back!

Locals not having access to fire pits is RIDICULOUS!

Odlin Park is one of the most accessible parks for residents of Lopez Island, both because it is free and because the distance from the parking lot to the beach is small. Odlin is not a “Day Park” and it makes no sense to allow tourists who are camping to have fires in fire pits but remove the fire pits that locals use.

Please bring our fire rings back to Odlin Park.
