Discovery Park, located within Columbus (Dublin mailing) currently operates as “open” until 11 p.m. The park shares its borders with both an elementary and a middle school and is located within a neighborhood. The climate and crowd using the park changes drastically after the sun goes down. Neighbors of the park have witnessed and reported to the non-emergency police line drug incidents, under-aged drinking, fighting, noise, and general disruption in the area. Discovery Park is also having a problem with graffiti. Police will not respond to complaints before 11 p.m. (even on school nights) because the park is considered “open”.
Most of the disruption is occurring after dark; therefore, we would like to propose the hours of operation be limited to daylight (dawn-dusk) and posted accordingly.
I have finalized the formal proposal to amend the current park operating hours for submission to the Parks and Recreation department. My next step involves meeting with the local precinct commander to discuss how our proposed dusk closure aligns with documented incident logs.

Totally agree. Cant believe the cops say they cant do anything just cause its technically open. Change the hours!

Keep it open for kids during the day but shut it down at dark. No reason for adults to be hanging out in a playground at midnight.

Living right down the street and honestly dont feel safe walking my dog after 8pm anymore. Too much sketchy activity back there at night.

About time something was done about this mess. The graffiti is hideous and its just inviting trouble into a school zone.
