Park Keepers Are Back!
September 07
Park Keepers.
Before the nineties "Parkies" were seen around all playgrounds and there was far less trouble from young people. The Park Keepers always had a friendly smile and children back then and parents too, felt safe seeing them on their walkabout in the parks, and many riding bikes too.
Now in Kent, England, the Park Keepers are back with a new bid to tackle anti-social behaviour. In Kent the Parkies are now back in the playground and sporting police-style "head cams". The new rangers wear a much more practical uniform in blue trousers and polo shirts which are far better than the dark suits and hats worn back in the old days.
Come on Blackpool, England, it is time to jump on the bandwagon and take a leaf out of Kent's book. Show these kids that you really care and actions speak louder than words. It is a known fact that someone in uniform deters a lot of anti-social behaviour especially when confronted with a smile and a chat.

All ages have fun too!
Here is another lady walking her dog and as she said to me that the exercise does her legs good too. smiles.
Walking your dog is great to keep fit!
Here many spend their time walking and training their dogs. It is a love walk around this park but bably requires more lighting. Many youths hang around this area and people feel threatened to walk around too late at night. More lighting is needed to aleviate this fear.
