Cars are parking directly outside the park entrance, driving over the grass verge and causing significant damage to the area. This is not only spoiling the green space and creating extremely muddy conditions, but it is also impacting local wildlife.

In addition, vehicles parked in this location are making it very difficult for children to see clearly when exiting the park, creating a serious safety concern for those crossing the road.

It is unclear why parking on the grass verge is necessary, particularly as there appears to be sufficient parking space available along the residential street. I would appreciate it if this matter could be reviewed and appropriate action taken to prevent further damage and ensure the safety of park users.

Thank you.
