It’s been said “no good deed goes unpunished.” That old adage appears to be coming true for Pensacola officials.

Barely a week after cutting the ribbon on a $2.2 million skate park, the City is beset by complaints from park neighbors and residents, including reports of late night use, illegal parking and drug use at the park, according to a Pensacola News Journal report.

The problems at the Blake Doyle Skatepark are, according to Pensacola Mayor D.C. Reeves, “growing pains.”

All public parks are supposed to close at sunset, but already there are reports of as many as 60 people using the park near midnight last Saturday, as witnessed by Pensacola City Council President Delarian Wiggins, according to the report.

During a council meeting Monday, Wiggins also said he’s received reports of drug use at the park and complaints from neighbors about cars illegally parking near the park.

The park, located under the Interstate 110 overpass, is lit at night with new LED lights, designed to provide security at night, but also lead to the mistaken belief the park is open.

“We’re working through some details on the double-edged sword of security with lights and also closing on time,” Reeves said, according to the PNJ.

“So we’re going through a little bit of growing pains with that. We’re going to get that under control. We are going come up with what our plan is to make sure that we can enforce (the rules) so that people do enjoy it, and that’s why it’s there.”
