Boozing A Problem At Spokane Parks

With the beautiful weather we’ve had the past few days and continuing into the weekend, a trip to park might be on your agenda. Many come to Spokane Parks to relax or play. Unfortunately, some take that play too far. The Spokane Parks and Recreation Department said park drinking is something they continually battle. Park-goers told KREM 2 they’re seeing more people boozing at the parks. Any sort of booze is forbidden in Spokane Parks, unless there is a specific event with a permit.  Even then, it’s limited to a certain space. Parents we talked to said it’s frustrating/ Hayley Guenther , KREM. More here.

DFO: During the steel-drum, public concert at City Park last month, I saw several members of a family under the large gazebo discreetly drinking beers. So I know it happens in Coeur d’Alene parks, too.

Question: Have you seen anyone drinking alcohol in Coeur d’Alene area parks? Do you think it’s a problem here?
