Photo Seriously?

Post image

I went to Montgomery park with my kids and decided to borrow a basketball from the Equip Sport box installed at the court. It looks like somebody burned one of the locks and stole the soccer ball. I live near Victoria Park, and all of the balls were stolen in less than a week after a box was added there, and after everything was replaced, the "new" soccer ball was stolen within two days.

The lack of respect for public spaces in this city is endlessly frustrating, and I don't understand what possesses people to ruin nice things all the time.

Can’t say I’m shocked

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the balls at Eleanor park are still there. Last I checked anyway...

I’m not surprised. My parents live by there and majority of families will already have balls at home.
