The park said they 'can't accept the level of abuse'
A city centre park was forced to close early after becoming 'overwhelmed' by people using it to drink and leaving litter behind, a park spokesperson has said.
"We're fully open-minded, we understand it was a hot day. But they depart and leave all their stuff in the park. It took us six hours to clean up. We had to go around the whole park cleaning up bags, umbrellas, clothes, bottles." "I hate doing it because I want the park to remain open. We're constantly educating. We're open-minded and liberal enough to accept that people want to have a nice time. But we can't accept the level of abuse."
"On very rare occasions it may be necessary to close the park early to avoid any issues and unfortunately, Waterpride had to take that decision over the weekend. We are speaking with the Council and Waterpride to see if any further measures could be explored to avoid early closures in the future.”
