I feel and see the unsafe situation too. They gather all over the wall and it is starting to feel like a gang member park. I can't even take my 8 and 6 year old son to play basketball because they always have it taken over with their large groups of bad language. I would love to see that area made into something my young children can use.

This seems to be a problem with alot of parks. It's too bad for the neighborhood but removing the hoops seems to be an answer. All residents should be able to enjoy the parks.

Sick of the garbage and glass all over. Not safe for younger children.

I live in west Milwaukee village and use the park daily and it's scary what is going on. Someone is going to get killed there and I hope that the city resolves this issue before an innocent child is either hurt or killed.

These basketball courts have been an issue in our area for a long time! I don't know why when the remodel was done they were put up again!

I've always been of the mind that the courts are a good thing because it's keeping kids there instead of out doing God knows what elsewhere. But lately I'm feeling differently. I didn't feel safe the other evening when I could hear fighting on the courts, and the trash everywhere angers me. We have such a beautiful park and half the people that use it don't respect it. I'm signing this petition for the safety and well being of my children.
