Description

Someone left the Soccer/Football fields lights on again all night long at McGucken Park. This is the 4th time this has happened in recent weeks! The photo was taken at 3:30 a.m. The last time this happened the Director of Parks and Recreation said that the locks controlling the lights have been changed and McGucken Park was now on the patrol list for COH Park Security. Not! Evidently, he didn't tell me that he gave new keys to some soccer player/Dad/Mom who is irresponsible in turning on/off the lights! Also, Park Security must not work weekends. So much for the word "security" in the title Park Security.

Someone turned the lights on around 2:30 pm Sunday afternoon, 3 hours before dark! Around 7 pm, on my way to Publix, I stopped by the park and no one was there.

It is 8:07 am and the lights are still on and the soccer player who more than lightly turned them on yesterday is probably in his calculus class at GHS.

Please forward this complaint to the Mayor's Assistant, John Hamilton. Maybe he can find out what is going on.

My thoughts are: you can change the lock a 100 times but the COH continues to give keys to irresponsible parties, you will get same results. As far as Park Security, I've lived next to this park for 25 years and have never seen 1 patrol car (green lights on top of vehicle) from that Section in the park.

Please send someone from General Services to turn off the lights.
