I think a guy on heroin in a park could easily not be noticed. This exact scenario happens harmlessly in major cities. You're overestimating the danger of happening to be in the same park as that person.

The needles they leave lying around are noticed and harmful.

Not every heroin user in a park leaves their needles behind, just as not every person who eats lunch in a park leaves litter behind.
