Weeping Beech Park — Attraction in New York

We’ve lived in this neighborhood for 20 years and have seen it change dramatically—and not for the better. What used to be a clean, welcoming park has now become dirty, overcrowded, and poorly maintained. Trash is everywhere, people openly drink and smoke, and there’s a serious lack of enforcement of basic rules. It’s not uncommon to see public urination, littered food, and even rats.

Nearby students also gather here and often smoke marijuana during school breaks, which only adds to the disorder. It’s incredibly disappointing to see a once-family-friendly space become something many of us now actively avoid.

This park needs serious attention—from better maintenance and sanitation to stronger supervision and community respect. Until then, it’s hard to recommend this space to anyone.
