Gloucester City: Fort Nassau Playground Apalling

A reader submitted these photos along with her remarks about a recent visit to Fort Nassau Park, on Johnson Blvd., across from Martins Lake.

\”The other day I took my children to Fort Nassau Park and was astonished to find such deplorable conditions. Besides trash all over and no trash cans, crossing the tracks there was a drain with rusty colored water (didn\’t look very healthy).

More disturbing was the graffiti all over the equipment.

Inside the tube was spray painted Die N$%%er and a swastika along with many curse words just not a nice experience. When the new council members were elected two years ago they promised to keep after the City Highway Department to maintain this site.

They also promised to increase police patrols in the area to stop the vandalism. I am sure they are trying but if anything the Park looks no different than it did before they were elected.\”
