Heard it was one of the Alexandra Park Drinking Crew that got slashed.

I haven't been up to the park for ages as used to hate walking past all the drinkers with my kids. Hopefully after this awful incident there will be more police around. I honestly don't know why they got rid of the Parkie. He was always around when I was younger and there was no trouble plus the park was always choca with kids/families/dog walkers.

The park can be a bit of a nightmare in the summer. Autumn, Winter and Spring - no problem. As soon as the mercury rises the park attracts some unsavoury characters. They all seem to have big dogs too. Where are these pets the rest of the year? - I honestly never see them out-with these short few months. Alcohol plays a significant role in all of this and it would be great to have some police/community officers/parkie patrolling the place. I know it's not unique to this park and budgets are tight and all that but it's so frustrating. Why should a minority of idiots get away with spoiling it for others?

That picnic table spot used to be a bit of a hangout for drinkers. But not anywhere near as much lately. It seems to have tailed off hugely over the past two or three years. Whenever I've been passing, at least.
