As of the closing week in August 2008, increased police patrols in this park will likely deter public drinking and carrying-on.
As of mid-August 2008, after 7:00PM or so, while legitimate users play soccer on the fields, the area at the lower parking lot off of Baltic Avenue near the water fountain has become the gathering place of groups of 20 or more young men wandering around in a state of clear intoxication, drinking beer and breaking glass bottles.

This is not far from the scene of the murder of Sue Wen Stottmeister.
