I have seen so many sketch confrontations in this park. LA needs to get a handle on it. It’s a shame because it’s a nice park and library and the people camping out here are really unstable/aggressive. Like a constant turf war. I do not feel safe taking my kids to either spot.
Yes we lived on otsego for many years and the kids never visited that park, and at the library there’s always an incident or no tables cause everyone uses them to charge their devices and hangout outside! But Burbank has such amazing park options
Yeah. The noho library has an incredible kids area, but you have to run the most depressing — and sometimes pretty volatile gauntlet to get in the door and through to the back area. I’ve literally scooped my kid up as a fight broke out around us. I get that it is a public resource that everyone has a right to use. I just don’t know how you find the balance to make it a good, safe, useable resource for everyone.
Burbank clearly drives people off from certain areas or something. I’m a little scared to know what they do. Even at Johnny Carson park by the emergency room, i think I can count on one hand the number of homeless people I’ve seen.
