I wish they wouldn't say that they are "in the iron triangle" because I think that scares a lot of people away. There's no reason to be afraid in this neighborhood lot. It will require a little hands-on support by the parents. It's a wonderful place for toddlers to work things out for themselves. !! It doesn't look like much / but when you get in there it's SAFE , EXCITING , inspiring, and encouraging. Little hands will become the big brains of a future that we hope will be much brighter. Please support them.

I'm reviewing just to try to balance out the unreasonable negative reviews on here, one of which is…read morebased on completely false information. "White savior fantasies"??!! This park was conceived of and built by residents of the neighborhood, after a child was killed in the original park filled with drunks and drug addicts. A group of parents and citizens got together and gathered grant money and city permission, and volunteers from the community came out and physically designed and built the park by hand. The director of the non-profit project lives literally across the street, and comes out personally to watch over the park and the kids 4 days a week. This park represents an amazing amount of community cooperation and involvement for a neighborhood that has been plagued with poverty and violence since I was a little kid (and probably much earlier). All that said, there is still some of the cultural mindset that one would expect from the parents - yesterday when I went there with my kid, two groups of kids, (one Hispanic, one Black), ages ranging from around 7 to 11, were attempting to mediate a conflict over something that supposedly happened at the park last week by telling their stories to the caretakers of the Hispanic kids (two women who spoke limited English). Supposedly there was some name calling last week, that may or may not have escalated to one girl slapping another. At some point some (obviously not credible) threats of violence were exchanged, but absolutely no actual violence, physical contact, or even raised voices occured, but kids in both groups made comments about calling the police over it. Apparently one of them followed through, because a few minutes later the police actually arrived. The officers listened patiently to both parties version of the story, pointed out that all these things happened in the past and that neither side had been perfect, and asked all the kids in both groups if they could let it go and get along from here forward. All the kids in both groups said they could get along, and as the officers began to leave, the two groups actually did integrate and go back to playing. Then the parents of the kids who didn't already have caretakers present showed up... They IMMEDIATELY, without even having talked to the children, went up to the officers who were at their car talking to each other, and began yelling at them and insulting them, complaining that they officers had been "yelling at their children", and requesting names and badge numbers in order to file a complaint. The 3 parents all talked at once, over each other, nearly belligerent, their various complaints about police in general, and there purely imagined complaints about these officers in particular, who had come out and successfully resolved a conflict between elementary school students. All this had absolutely nothing to do with me, but I really didn't want my son to have to see this already resolved conflict become even bigger because of the parents prejudice against cops, so I intervened just to say that I had been there the whole time, and the cops did not takes sides or yell at anyone, and then proceeded to recount the whole story when I was asked follow up questions. The cops took that opportunity to disengage, one of the parents left again, but two others stayed around the entire rest of the time we were there, ranting to each other about cops and saying incomprehensible things to me like "this wouldn't happen if parents were here to watch their kids" and "parents shouldn't just unquestioningly take their kids side in a conflict just because its their kids" - um, those two things are literally exactly what you have been doing! The other group of kids had adult supervision with them, you were the parents who weren't here! The whole thing was a sad reminder of the overlooked part of race relations in our country, the cultural rut we as poor urban Black people can't seem to get out of, the assumptions and prejudices we make that ensure that every interaction with cops is negative and that make it hard for us to ever integrate into larger society. The fact that the director and other staff have to deal with people like this on a daily basis makes it more than understandable that they might come off as a little gruff at times, but the fact that she has undertaken this project at all shows how much she cares about the community and it's children.
