Letter: Court ruling will keep kids out of Circle Park

Thursday, Nov. 23, 2006 | 6:57 a.m.

It is so nice that Circle Park will continue to be a refuge for the homeless, now that the courts have thrown out the Las Vegas ordinance that made feeding the homeless in city parks unlawful.

Nothing has changed. Homeless advocate Gail Sacco never stopped feeding them at Circle Park, and now more will gather. The residents of the John S. Park and Huntridge communities might as well walk over and get a free meal. Why work or pay taxes? There is no need. We can go to Circle Park and eat, drink alcohol, take baths in the water fountain, have sex in the restroom, vomit in the children's play area, do drugs and enjoy the fine weather.

The park is overused by individuals who do not give a damn about our community.

I don't have any solutions, but I do not want the homeless in my back yard. I will not take my child to Circle Park. Let the vagrants have it.
