I live near that park and my grandkids are not allowed to visit there. The nearby bus transit has a lot of passengers who spend their lay over time at the park and it is not infrequent that when driving by you see young men passed out there. I wish they would relocate the bus transfer station because it makes the park unusable. There is a large park and ride a few blocks further south on Aurora that would be far more suitable.

Thanks to the Echo Lake Neighborhood (ELNA) and County Councilmember Rod Dembowski, the transit center has been cleaned up, and 24 hour security staff put in place.
