Manchester Park

Please, for the Love of God; Do not take your children to this park, I beg of you .. I walk my dog there on a daily basis, due to the fact that I live so close. And this park is constantly overran with "Bums" not homeless people, but "Bums" there is a huge difference, by the way... These "Bums" literally destroy the park on a daily basis, by leaving trash scattered everywhere and they shoot up their dope and then they just throw their used syringes on the ground, freaking horrible human beings.. If you need proof of this, then please by all means go and take a look at the drain behind the far end backstop, there are 100's of nasty dirty used syringes down in this drainage ditch.. The police come thru and run them off every once in a while, but they come right back, about 20-30 minutes later...So once again I plead with you, Please do not take your children to this park or any park in this area, cause they are pretty much all the same... Woodward Park is gonna be your best bet..

I live on the other side of the fence of Manchester Park. It's full of homeless people that jump over your fence and steal things. The police try to run them out, but the next day a new group moves in. My advice is stay away as far as possible.

It's a fairly clean quiet Park. Sometimes homeless people try to pitch a camp here and there. But the city is pretty good about keeping it clean from that in general. I still wouldn't go there after dark.

Not a place to take your kids. A lot of drug users frequent the park. Was there the other day and found a hyperdermic needle in the play area.

I REALLY HOPE FOR YALLS SAKE YOU NEVER BECOME HOMELESS! SO QUICK TO JUDGE A HOMELESS PERSON!

Hella freaky park at night . The sprinklers flood it out so you ruin your shoes . I think only 1 person was sleeping here . And a couple being freaky in a dark corner . Other than that just scary at night

I left in 92 and am back now. I want to adopt this park in some manner because I plan on frequenting it often. Can anybody recommend an avenue I should take for info about helping with this park?

it's not the worst Park in Fresno. as I noticed in another post yes there are sometimes sketchy people that hang out here. but, I have found it as long as I don't disrespect these folks I don't have any problems with them. this is a safe park for kids as long as you keep an eye on your kids.

Usually at least one homeless person living in the back but it has a huge grass area to walk dogs and has a water basin in the back

I like the park because you are able to walk around and have a great time with the kids . The only thing is that sometimes is locked and when it's open many homeless people enter too and they have dogs that sometimes are not on a leash so it makes you feel unsafe.
