Utterly revolting and disgraceful on every level. This "park" in the heart of our city is a dump and a blemish in the heart of PE. Wow. What must tourists think of our city? Nurses from the hospital spend their lunchtime in the park...parents with sick children in the hospital or people who've lost a loved one would seek a bit of solace in the peace of the park....however, the "park" is in a state of ruin.

This is the most dreadful advertisement for our city....
