Henderson Lake Park — Attraction in Lethbridge

I typically love Henderson Lake Park, but this evening (approx 7:00), 3 vehicles filled with Hutterites parked in close proximity to where we were parked. Two older males got out of their vehicle and one proceeded to urinate on his front passenger-side tire ... directly in our visual range. Both men were staggering and appeared inebriated. My husband shook his head when they looked over at us, and they approached our vehicle saying, "he really needed to go bad". I just looked in the opposite direction, but found this behavior profoundly offensive. Not only were we in close proximity, but on the other side were children in the play area, and directly in front of us was the walking path. Disgusting!

Our most recent visit we were just passing through Lethbridge but we took a stop here to let the kids stretch out their legs at the playground. It was jam-packed with people and everybody was having a really great time. Only issue was around parking because there was some Dragon Boat training going on at the time. One of the better Parks I've...
