There have been several facebook post stating that they will continue to gather at the community center and since they can't play ball they will get drunk and have fun. It has been advertised that they will DRINK AND DROWN and there is nothing you can do to stop them. This place really needs to have a gate with a lock put around it, it was suppose to be a playground for the kids, but its really not safe for kids to even be in the area with all the fights, alcohol and drug selling that goes on. CLOSE IT DOWN AND KEEP THE KIDS HOME This will not stop until the Police and the town put a stop to it.

People will not obey the social distancing rules. Too bad that these people will get sick and give it to others who do not deserve it, like they do.
