Park can be fun and boring
Attacked by gangs at night
Rough kids hang around
Kids are taught horrible things

Tyldesley Park used to be good but now it is horrible. There's smashed up bottles and used cigarettes. It's not as bad as the parks in Salford where I used to live. They had vandalism all over and everything broke and smashed up. Tyldesley Park doesn't have much litter on the ground and litter bins are used sometimes.
Young kids have a good collection to play on. Older kids (about 5+ have not got much and then teenagers always come out at night and wreck it with beer cans and bottles.
