[RePinion]

I love Gage Park as a park but I tend to avoid it nowadays. It has a seedy reputation for good reason.

My sister was aggressively accosted there a few years ago by a couple of older men to such an extent that we had to get police involved.

I was also attacked two summers ago by a group of South Asian youth who tried to knock me off my bike in the south west end of the park (presumably with the intention of stealing my beautiful Lemond ... like I was going to let that happen!).

I only go there now with my mom and grandmother for the Mum show in the fall.
