Description

Jefferson Park is continually being over-run by people by abusing the grounds for loitering and drinking, drugging, passing out on park benches, parking themselves in large groups blocking sidewalks in the park making passage of individuals/pets impossible, and overall wrecking the park.

We have cleaned the debris out of the new fountain many times and repositioned the lights in the fountain but they keep trashing the fountain by overturning the light fixtures in the water making it dark around the fountain (great for crime) and throwing debris in the water and surrounding grounds

Please enforce the Jefferson Park signage:

Park Closes at Sunset
No Dumping
Pets on Leashes

Families are tired of witnessing non-local residents passed out on benches, gathering to drink alcoholic beverages and discarding empty containers on the grounds.

Jefferson Park has become a real eye sore due to locals destroying the peace and beauty we have come to enjoy. We can't sit on the benches anymore to see the city out of fear from the above mentioned activities.
