Very pissed off that some rude, annoyed, racist, neighbors got 2 of the Pokéstops removed because PoGo players are using a PUBLIC park for what is meant for!!! I never once came across any loud, disturbing or rude PoGo players in the times I have visited this park. So why take it out on us, because the neighbors are annoyed by the increase in got traffic!?!

This park is an amazing park that many of us did not even know about. Besides learning the history of the park itself I met so many wonderful people there. Everyone I met was respectful to the park, and other people including myself. I feel the park itself is now actually cleaner than before Pokémon. Individuals involved with Pokemon organized picnics, grillouts and most impressive clean up parties where the park was cleaned thouroughly. The upset neighbors have met with city officials, members of the Ho Chunk Nation and held neighborhood meetings expressing their concerns. Nothing came of these complaints with any of these groups because most of their complaints were fabricated and any small issue was addressed very easily by the Pokémon community. The only group to take action on their bogus claims was Niantic by removing a gym and two pokestops. I hope you will reconsider your decision to remove these and bring back the "Best place in Madison for Pokémon " Thanks for your consideration.

Me and my children have loved coming to this park, to enjoy what a beautiful sight that is this park, meeting new people young and old that enjoy playing Pokémon, and get out of the house to enjoy the day. I have NEVER in my at least 3-4 times a week visits, seen inappropriate behavior. If everyone can respect the parking laws I too believe this is a public park and should be enjoyed by the public however they safely see fit, including playing pokemon go.

Neighbors have criminally harassed others, and have made racist remarks.

I think we all agree that people littering, being abusive, or parking illegally should be dealt with by the authorities. I am in favor of that. However, leave the law abiding citizens using a public park alone. I am one of those people just having a good time, enjoying my community and neighbors.
