For many law abiding citizens our parks are a no go. Recently we had a group of friends gather at Alton Baker only to have to fend off homeless men and women - three literally went into our picnic spread to help themselves.  We would have gladly given extras to them, after we were finished feeding our group... but the aggressiveness scares most women who were organizing our group.  The City needs parks security from River Road to Alton Baker.  Instead of the "district" projects getting money can we please have police presence to enjoy the assets we paid for?
