Th...What a fun and well designed park! We love it!<br /><br />That having been said, we were there on Saturday and there was a strange older white man (grey beard, on bike) outside of the playground filming the children. Someone called the police and they spoke with him, took his information down, but he had no criminal record. Still, something very creepy about him, so parents - be alert! <br /><br />The park is very busy, which is great, and some kids are not playing as nicely as others (basically big kids with no parents there supervising them, throwing balls around little kids, sitting on the equipment and not moving so other kids cannot use it, swearing, etc). <br /><br />I think parents cannot be intimidated by these kids and just need to ask them to move along and to play nicely. There is a clear divide between the kids who are there with their parents and those who are not, but with so many really little kids playing we need to be careful. The cops were also called on one of these big kids who was clearly there to start trouble (mixed race Asian/African American kid who got mouthy with the parents then thought it was funny they called the cops). <br /><br />Anyway, growing pains, but awesome park!Uptownismhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06683112836998540009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957537260422450632.post-11705202282651371892012-06-02T15:31:39.967-05:002012-06-02T15:31:39.967-05:00Nice to see some of those globe decorations from t...Nice to see some of those globe decorations from the Roosevelt viaduct recycled here.
