How do avoid all the needles? They’re everywhere in the parks and can be very hard to see sometimes.

Not really.

But, I've heard that risk from casual contact with hypodermic needles is rare. See: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2529409/

Risk is obviously much higher if you re-use the needles to inject drugs. Casual contact with the needle is low risk.

That's assuming lots of needles. I see needles sometimes. I use the 311 app when I see needles. But I don't see them in an area where my kids are going to play.
