At a recent city commission meeting, Mayor Betty Resch expressed frustrations with the state of the bathrooms at the city's public parks. She said it's disgusting what's being done to them.
"It's disgusting that people come in and destroy our bathrooms. They use them to have sex. They use them to shoot up. I don't know what the heck else. I mean, I've gone in there and there's like suitcases piled up," she said.

Ms. Anderson and dear readers, our parks are in terrible condition currently with no plans to better them. Nothing has been done to upgrade the tables, benches or grills in over 30 years.
When the city lets things deteriorate the junkies move in because it’s welcoming for them not families, bird watchers, and retirees.
I challenge you all it visit parks of our nieghbor cities you will come back home deflated.
We are the bottom, Please help!
We need ordinances so repeat offenders can be jailed, fined and or placed in a facility where they can get mental health treatments--but bottom line, permanently removed from life on the street and use of the park as a living site.
Remove the degenerates from Bryant Park
Why doesn't the Mayor do anything? Things are deteriorating by the hour!
We need to upgrade-remodel-modernize the parks that means new equipment, fish cleaning tables with water hoses, tables and benches I also believe the band shell needs serious remodeling maybe ask the Gulfstream people to do it as a sponsor or it needs to be demolished and built like many communities have.
The we don’t want to be delray crowd has paralyzed this once proud town keeping things dumpy and blighted, this is not historic or quaint!
paying for restroom use is stupid. Get real, Betty.
