Description
I just opened a school a few houses down and use this park daily as do many children. There are two benches outside of the gate where people smoke constantly. I would like, if possible, a sign that discourages smoking directly near children as well as a sign stating that you may not be in the park without a child. There is a man who is concerning who came into the park yesterday without a child to watch the children under my care. Thanks so much.

I disagree. The benches may not be in the playground, but they certainly are in the park - albeit the part of the park that has a brick surface rather than a grass surface. The Municipal Code makes no distinction between grassy areas or paved areas or playground areas; and the Wilder-Lee Park is listed as a Public Park Restricted Area.
