This park has potential it actually needs a conservatory to help fund it and govern it. Letting it slip away as it once did would not be beneficial.When my golden was alive we enjoyed the park sometimes several times a day. We met people engaged in conversation mostly about our dogs. A napping area for junkies and Riff-Raff hanging out dirty is not the meaning of a park at all. In dense urban environments natural green settings are important any redesign should have goal as making more of the park green replanting hardwood trees to make up for the loss over the last few years and better rodent control.

I feel very safe in the park & still do after this incident. I walk by & sit near the chess tables all the time. You just need to be aware/alert like in any part of this big city. Violent assaults happen all over NYC on a daily basis & are to be expected with so many people. Also, keep in mind that all involved in this incident were homeless & knew each other. This was not some random attack on a innocent person walking by... I really hope they do not bring back the ridiculous police tower.

I've personally always felt this was missing from NYPD, especially in such a pedestrian-heavy town as NYC. For many people, this isn't just a desire in response to a specific incident, but a broader idea of how we'd like to interact with the police.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-87622552539059315252016-07-19T19:07:24.783-04:002016-07-19T19:07:24.783-04:00At 10:43 AM, Anonymous said:

We can't be sure strollers aren't being used to transport contraband and pretty young blondes can be drug mules just as easily as anyone else. Will need some bomb sniffing German shepherds too.
