They need night cameras throughout the park.

@HeavyondaBx Yep. I walk in that area at night - they just come through in their cars at 1 am to say the park is closed and that’s it. And the wrong people know that too

It’s so sad how many of you think this is a joke. If you don’t have a compassionate or valid question or response. Then keep it to yourselves. RIP and May the person who did this be brought to justice 🙏
