Seems Heritage Park has become the new party park (just east of the Former Zip Feed Mill on Weber Ave.);
Neighbors living around Heritage Park say it’s as if Van Eps moved to the east.
“They didn’t want people to see the crowds, the police and all that’s going on. Heritage Park will be that,” neighbor Wilma Barrett said.
Heritage Park is on the list of city parks where alcohol is banned, but these neighbors see people breaking that rule on a daily basis.
No surprise, IÂ figured the problem would move around. In fact I still see drinking in Van Eps and I also see it at a picnic shelter by the old Drake Springs pool site. Police are there quite often.
I may get myself into a little trouble with this, but I think there should be a total ban on alcohol in ALL parks throughout the city. I would include the ball parks. I think if we are going to solve a problem like this we need to have an equal policy throughout the city.
PS – I noticed the female police officer in the video looks like the same one that tried to do a skateboard trick on a guard rail with her patrol car.
