Hello,
I recently moved to Stanford Crossing. My 7 year old and I frequent the skate park almost every single day. Its an amazing park and we love to go. However, I've noticed almost daily a group of kids 15-early 20s drinking/smoking/littering/cursing.
It's become really uncomfortable to take my kid. Its always the same group, openly drinking and smoking pot while children are playing. I like to mind my own business but I left San Jose to give my son a better life. Him as well as the neighborhood children love to actually skate that park but the last 2 days I've had to leave because of the partying, cursing and overall behavior. To make matters worse, there is a toddler in this group of loitering teens.
My son fell today and one of guys in the group laughed at him, and he now is scared to go back. (we moved here 2 weeks ago) While I know that this type of things will happen and he will be exposed to these things I do believe that the city as well as my neighbors would appreciate some sort of patrol a few times a day. Our taxes are going to the up keep of this town and I'd hate for the park to go downhill so fast.
