Why not have a designated area for sports involving balls in the park? I am very ashamed of the members of our city council that made this decision. As far as the hispanics "taking over" Not only do they work the hardest, but they workout the hardest!!!

Whether it is catch between a dad and his child or a football game between a group of teenagers.

If they cannot go the park where are they to go? Don't we want our youth to stay out of trouble and be active. Would the government rather people sit on their butts and play video games instead of getting
