Title	Update: Large groups of kids in the park.
Author	throwawayglasgowlady
Body	So I posted this a while back, and thought people would be interested in an update. Also lost the password for a while because it’s not my main account. I’m going to name the park, just in case anyone has kids hanging around here because they are truly awful. 1. Called 101, not 999. They already had a large number of complaints about them, so I felt less guilty about calling in. Police showed up, and they spread out a little bit, music got turned off for half an hour and was right back on. Police came back out (not my call) because they had been drinking so much and were climbing into peoples front gardens. 2. The park is Knightswood park. If your kids are in that large group, sort them out. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to run around the track without someone jumping in front of me trying to trip me. It’s not unreasonable to go home and be annoyed at some 15 year old swinging off my front gate. Don’t be angry when I call the police because they’re jumping through all the back gardens trying to dodge the police and breaking my garden bench in the process. 3. Rubbish is everywhere. The dog walkers are having to stay close to the fences because the twats have left broken glass bottles in the grass. Crisp packets, rubbish from the chippy, just crap everywhere. Actually witnessed one girl hike her skirt up and shit in the stream. Stay classy. 4. No more fights from what I seen within the groups, but they get very aggressive and shout at people who dare to walk past them. This area is full of elderly people who have lived here for years, why the sudden disrespect towards them? 5. Seems to be getting later now that they show up. Was around lunchtime before, it’s now around 8/9pm they meet, and it’s just constant noise. 6. They’re now taking over the play park. The young kids who were coming down from the high flats to use it are now too scared to go in, and are having to sit on the grass away from the play park, while the drunk teenagers and hanging off the swings and the slide. Overall, kids who are hanging around Knightswood park are truly awful. I’m past caring who gets offended at this. You’re dragging your kids up, and letting them run wild. I’m only 26, I’m not some 70 year old woman complaining at a wee bit of noise.
