You mean like THIS?





Police investigating possible ATV, dirt bike damage at Roger Williams Park Temple of Music

But how could that be??? I mean why couldn't these thugs just have used the wide open gates and stayed on the pavement! Surely they have respect for park rules and public property, and wouldn't destroy the grass if a road was available!!! Sorry but that is the most absurd idea I have heard.


IT NEEDS TO BE FENCED AND GATED AT THE PERIMETER, SO THESE MISCREANTS CANNOT MAKE ENTRY TO THE PARK AFTER HOURS PERIOD.

So call your Councilperson, State Rep, Mayor, Governor, etc. to do something about it. Oh, that's right. They're all in Maine and don't care!

The park could even charge admission at the gates to pay for the fence and keep the poors out. Win win.

There are events that run later than 9:00 frequently. There was a movie in the park at 7:30 every Friday in August. They don't make people leave half an hour before the movie is over.

You're right. Lots of post 9pm things going on. Heck, the zoo has whole events exhibits open later. People that live here know that. Voyeurs that don't know the area would not.

It's one thing if there's an event that runs beyond 9pm, but otherwise you absolutely will get kicked out if you're hanging out in the park after closing.

In other words, there is already security and the Maine fantasy gates are unnecessary.

If it's after dark, you are doing something else there besides "running".

And they sure did a heck of a job preventing the ATV vandals shown in the above post^. Buddy, that park would need to hire a LOT more security in order to properly cover that park at night. I imagine gates and fencing would be a lot cheaper in the long run.
