Fort Greene Park warns tiny containers littered on ground may contain fentanyl

Fort Greene Park officials are warning visitors to watch out for tiny plastic canisters on fields and playgrounds, fearing they may contain traces of the deadly drug fentanyl.

It’s unclear if the tiny cans found in the park actually contained fentanyl. David Barker, the city Parks Department director for Fort Greene Park, said the containers discovered in the area were “potential” drug paraphernalia and have not yet tested positive for traces of any drugs. “These trash cans are often bright colored and could be very appealing for children to pick up as a trinket or toy. Kids need to be told not to touch them, that they are dangerous and can make them sick,” said one email from Community Roots Charter School in Fort Greene that was sent to parents Monday.
