The gate is locked again! Why? I have a 2 year old and the field provides a much needed open space to run in the middle of the city. It is really hard to drag a toddler all the way around the field to the one open gate. The north east gate was unlocked for a month or so but around Christmas it was once more locked. Now there is a bike lock as well as a padlock. Please open the gate so the field can be used. Perhaps the gate should be removed altogether, then the mysterious cereal locker will be stopped once and for all.

Yay! The gate is open.
