There is nightly illegal activity from heroin users (the needles can be found in the morning) to sex to drug selling. This typically occurs after dark; however, on weekend days there is a group of teenagers who routinely park in a Blue BMW station wagon (3 series) and smoke pot.

GATES must be locked EVERY NIGHT!! This is NHPD responsibility. They know, Parks Director agrees.
I'll follow up with City's CAO who oversees both depts.
East Shore and Light House get this attention.
Timing of Tennis lights needs to be formal and seasonal. I'll again follow up with Parks Dir.

930pm 9/29. NHPD car sitting at Fitch/Whalley gate. Can't hurt but I realize this doesn't fix/close this issue. W. Rock gate still open despite Tennis lights off and thus park "closed."
Lighting. As I posted in a related issue, "to light or not to light" after the park is technically closed - either after dark which is the city-wide policy or after permitted after dark uses like lit tennis, softball, soccer, etc. in city parks - is a long debated policy.
I think that locking the gates predictably will help cut the illegal activity reported here. I will try to get this to be a higher priority of NHPD who is responsible for locking the gates nightly.
I thank the neighbors for attending to this gate, but I've continued to advocate this responsibility lies with the City - which for the past several years is NHPD and not Parks who haven't had staff for this function for many years.
