Up until a few days ago Hudson Park was a community gathering place that was great to play Pokemon Go. A few disgruntled homeowners near Hudson Park got Niantic to remove 2 of the Pokestops to keep people from gathering. This location brought families, children, and people of all types together to have good, clean fun. People would come from all over town, even out of town! It was a wonderful and unique experience. The very purpose of a public park is community gathering, and for children to play. We ask that Niantic return the two Pokestops and restore the fun! Thank you.

The level of support for restoring these community spaces has exceeded my original expectations. This momentum confirms that Hudson Park remains a vital hub for our neighbors and visitors alike. We are now preparing to present this collective request to the developers.

I live in the neighborhood and loved the Hudson Park pokestops. I was sad to see that they were taken away. All the times I had been day both during the day and night I didn't see any inappropriate behavior. I hope the pokestops come back.
Please bring back the stops! In my visits there, I saw families spending time together enjoying nature and a video game, and I saw disabled individuals enjoying something on the same level as others. People were very respectful and conscientious about the park and the space.
I don't play Pokemon Go, but I do use Hudson Park as a place to take my dog swimming, go for walks, look at flowers and I don't see anything wrong with the Pokemon Go players there. All types of activities can co-exist.
This park was so much fun to be at and Pokemon go with people. We would bring toys for my daughter to play with other kids and snacks to share. It was an awesome community of people. Please bring the stops that were at this public park back.
I thought the park was a great thing. Lots of people would meet up and have a good peaceful time. Some weekends there would be cook outs to raise money for the parks department. The Park ranger was excited that people were using the park.
Seriously uncool of the neighborhood to dictate the use of a public space paid for with city funding.
Please put the stops back! We want people to visit parks.and be outside with exercise and fun!

Local residents frowning upon lawful citizens using a city owned park is not grounds to disband activity there. The residents went to lengths to have a Native American representative oversee the activity in the park and he deemed that the patrons were in no way disturbing the resting places of his kin.
