The MPTA has recently been told that the playground, which had always been for residents and their guests, now appears to be open to the public. Unknown mothers with unspecified numbers of children are suddenly everywhere. And outside adult basketball teams are now regularly tying up the court once reserved for our youth. This also poses the question of security. Are these mothers, children and basketball players signing in? Is anyone checking them out when they leave? Or are they, once admitted to go to the playground, allowed free access to the entire MP complex?
