More graffiti added a week or two ago.

Huge graffiti on the south side of the Coogan Pavilion too

Still the same graffitti - @#$% in letters two feet high, plus the usual other stuff.

There is also a "comment" on a small green power (?) box near the bridge that says "Play dumb," no doubt a message to never, ever give the NHPD any valuable information on any crime committed in the park. This very ghetto "no snitch" policy prevents many crimes from being solved in New Haven.

Here's a photo.

No action taken to remove or cover graffitti, and lots more has been painted on the bridge.

The problem in this section of the park is that as soon as the graffiti is removed, the gangs come along and re-tag everything all over again. They have even tagged the Coogan roof. This is gross, and like animals urinating as territory. And then we have supposedly respectable forms of media such as the NH Independent reporting that NH has only "a few" street gangs! Really? Because I see gang tagging all over the city, and that would indicate MANY street gangs. Also, on Saturday, as I was walking through this section there were dirtbikers. Then on Edgewood Ave, dirtbikers and ATV'ers doing loops of the Ave, viciously riding the sides of Edgewood Park filled with children and families. These ingrates are trying to ruin New Haven. I called the NHPD to report.

This issue was recategorized from Graffiti to Parks Request.

over year old

That means the graffitti is over a year old, but it has not been removed or painted over. More is added but none is ever removed.
