Cage Fight At Destination Playground

On Saturday night at Cedar Beach, by the Destination Playground, hundreds of young denizens cheered on no less than three separate concurring fist fights. If the event was sponsored by the Recreation Department, I do not know.

I do know that the Park Department must coordinate for more security. Although they do a pretty good job of cleaning up after the denizens, it is not so across Ott Street, by the Rose Gardens.

Back in 2005, the Trexler Trust commissioned a study which concluded that the Cedar Beach area was being overused. Since that time, it is actually being used much more, and supported by the Parknership, a  new project by the Trust. It is high-test political correctness, with myself and other traditional park advocates excluded. They put pretty pictures on their website, but I don't think you'll see the litter and the fights.
