POLICE REPORT ARRESTS IN FLOWER GARDENS "INCREASING"
Flower Gardens, a popular park by day, transforms itself by night. Gone are the laughing children, the watchful parents. In their place are amorous teenagers, taking advantges of the seclusion of the area to pursue romantic interludes.
One twentysomething resident, who asked not to be identified by name, said that his high school class had begun calling the area "Deflower Gardens."
Lewd conduct arrests are up from last year's record high. Police put the increasing numbers down to increased police presence in the area.
Beverly Bogner, whose property abuts Flower Gardens, said, "I don't know how much difference the police have really made. It's kind of a joke in the area about what goes on up there. But I have a daughter, and she knows well enough to not go up there after dark - especially with a boy."
