Loreto Playground — Attraction in New York

Loreto Playground is an interesting public park for me to visit and hangout since summer 2017.

However, suddenly, during the summer of 2018 and 2019, there has been one female adult stranger, in particular, who has been making me feel misunderstood and accused verbally ignorant to me having a problem with me being in the park verbally, forcing me to not be in the park because she thought I was trouble and danger to the kids and and other people when visiting the park.

Worse, back in around June 2019, when I was trying to visit the park the second time, I felt heartedly shocked and hurt when that female woman warned me that she was going to call the police if I didn't leave the park immediately, that incident made me question if I ever wanted to visit this park ever again or not.

The female stranger and everybody else in the park never knew or cared that, I am a special-need person with autism and mild intellectual disability, which is why most people, nowadays, think I am nothing but deviant or dangerous for nothing.

Other than that, Loreto park is really an interesting public park for me to hangout, especially of being into a Little Italy and European neighborhood area. The only thing I don't like, though, is when anybody makes me feel misunderstood, misinterpreted, mistaken and accused as if I am somebody, in any way, whatsoever, hypocritical or felonious for no reason, and then the cops would treat me as nothing but a criminal (which I know in my heart that I am not, and be a bigger and deeper victim of crimes than people without...

I usually will go into this playground to use one of the 5 checker/chess tables as a place to enjoy my morning coffee/buttered roll with my spouse.

I see many parents bring their children to this part. There are comfort restrooms here but I am not sure that they are open - when I have used the facilities I found it to be very dirty and not up to par. The northern part of the playground is now under the final stages of renovation and will boast a nice size softball field complete with fenced dugouts as well as small bleachers for spectators, although there doesn't seem to be much protection for right field onlookers...

I love love this park, but noone is maintaining what's breaking. Children can get injured here so easily. It's scary. I saw a child fall so hard. These black mats are incredibly dangerous and so lifted up to make ppl and children, pregnant women can trip at any time. and such a HUGE. Hazard!!!! FIX THIS PARK. TAX PAYERS MONEY SHOULD GO TO FIX THIS!!! The black part that the entire playground sits on is destroyed and lifted up on each and mostly every corner. I tell you if you are pregnant or elderly DO NOT WALk ON THIS you can fall and get seriously injured!!! This is so dangerous, yet noone comes out to fix this area. WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR??? prob after some 1 gets hurt they will come out! SHAME...
