The center benches of the park have become a gathering point for older men drinking beer and malt liquor. Would be great if the "community policing" foot patrol could patrol the park in the evening to keep the riff raff away.

This work order has been passed to the community district police office and a plan has been set to drive through the park for patrols. Whether or not to remove the benches will be based on the patrolling.

Thank you for your support in improving Chatham Square Park. We are working hard with neighbors and the police to improve the area. As this issue was reported in 2015 we are closing the issue now. Please report any current concerns in new issue threads.
