I love that park, but there's nowhere to sit!!! Address the homeless issue head on-not by taking benches away. Pitiful.

This is something of a lame excuse. If they are right, let's help these people get help, and let everyone else enjoy sitting in the park.

]]> Sat, 28 Jan 2012 06:47:44 UTC 12105296 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/12103132?utm_medium=rss How ridiculous, taking benches out of a park! A park is not only to "look at" like all those stupid lawns people keep up & never "use", or quickly walk past, nature is to be enjoyed & the purpose of parks (of any size) is to allow us a bit of that nourishment....even a nap in it if need be, and no one should be in charge of who or when or how long that might be.

I'd love to see it back in the park.

I have seen many parks and they all have BENCHES OR TABLES for people to sit/lie down on. Such a mean town. Shame

I can only enjoy this soulful experience with nature a couple times per week, wishing I could appropriate more time for this most renewing exercise. With this understanding, It is disheartening to see many with ample time to enjoy this connection, unable to indulge their desire, due to lack of adequate seating. Please, fill this need.

I rather sit in a park bench then dog crap from dog owners who don't curb their dog which is a city ordinace.

]]> Sun, 20 Nov 2011 01:53:49 UTC 11700130 https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/11699747?utm_medium=rss a park without benches is an empty lot.in this case,it seems to be a place the folks in the tower behind it want exclusively for a front yard to piss their dogs

If the objective to keep the homeless away is the only objective, shame on our simpleminded approach to solving the problem.
