Description
This once beautiful park is a disgrace. The building is a mess. The tennis courts are horrendous. The lake is a mess it needs to be cleaned, dredged and restocked. The beautiful carousel has not opened in almost 2 years. The park is clean. Thank you to the few park workers. The South shore is getting new updated parks. Why is this park being ignored. We on the North Shore also want to enjoy our once beautiful park.
