East Clayton Community Park — Attraction in Clayton

Have been going to this park for many years and it used to be a much quieter, nicer park. Lately it has gone a bit downhill due to inconsiderate visitors. Leaving litter EVERYWHERE as if they do not understand what a trash or recycling can is. Having sex in their cars in broad view of minors, and leaving their condoms lying there on the ground...again, don't litter.
