Letter: Let's hope 'yahoos' don't ruin drinking in Burnaby parks for the rest of us

Should there be security patrols in parks once alcohol consumption is allowed?

Allowing beer and wine consumption in Burnaby parks is a great idea, as long as "drunken punks" don't wreck it for everyone, this writer says.

Re: Burnaby council approves alcohol in parks

I think it would be great to allow beer or wine to be consumed in Burnaby parks. Hopefully, it won't be a situation with yahoos or drunken punks drinking, throwing their empty cans, bottles and other junk all over the park grounds.

Also, perhaps some type of security patrolling these areas. Most people are very aware of not being troublesome. It is just a few that think they can do what they want.
