Peter Marshall Park — Attraction in Anaheim

This is a homeless encampment and not a park for children. We just moved into the area i and thought my girls would love this park. Our first time there i was surprised by the homeless people camped around the edges. I didn't think it would be a problem so we went straight to the playground.
