Had some wierd lady ask if we need a baby sitter then walk to everyone and ask personal questions about their kid. A dad told her to leave ans she didn't so he called the cops on her because it was getting quite disturbing. Some times they do have protestors on the corner but they usually stay away from the parents at the park. A fence would be nice but definitely might look odd.
