Other places that the homeless have set up camp like Central Park, and Gage, and where interesting figures regularly hang out like Gore and Victoria are all inviting, special places to spend time, read a book, meet a friend, or throw the frisbee. John/Rebecca park is just none of that. It feels like between nowhere and nowhere, and it has the design of an airport, forgettable and utilitarian.
It doesn't even have a good name. It exists solely because a dude wanted a park there or he wouldn't donate money toward it, and the city rushed and had idiot citizens design the park.

oh, don't get me wrong, I totally agree. It looks like the surface of the moon, and I have no clue why they thought that would be a good idea for a park. But the people that hang out there definitely do not help the situation. Just take a look at the google maps streetview of it.
I just hope the condo that's going in across the street makes the park less appealing to that particular group, and it gets cleaned up a bit.
