As mentioned by others, unfortunately the civil ambience gets compromised by rough rude men who occupy the benches by the St. Clair West side. They argue and/or converse loudly with many an angry expletive. They are NOT representative of all homeless persons. But their presence is unfortunate.

However, there are lots of times where this park is a great respite in the middle of...
