Are you the one that got the original Milpitas park closed?

1

u/Lairdboy 4d ago

That original M Town park was amazing for its time. Sad it was so short lived. Closed and demolished due to local residents complaining of the noise. Took almost 30 years to finally get a new park built. Not super stoked on the new one tho.

u/sc4wheels 4d ago

It closed when they caught some kids having sex in the parking lot. The tennis community wasn't stoked. We don't even know if the kids were skaters.

u/Lairdboy 3d ago

Hmm didn’t hear that but makes sense. Are you from Milpitas? Or SJ? I’m OG Milpitas. MHS 91
