Ramsay Park in Roxbury, a block-wide recreational space between Shawmut Avenue and Washington Street near the South End, had long been known to neighbors as a trouble spot.
Twice a week, city workers came and filled bags with broken glass and plastic, single-serving containers of hard alcohol — known as “nips” — bought at a nearby liquor store and left behind by drunks who used the park as home base.

I wouldn't have gone in there without a hazmat suit on. Needles, broken bottles, blood. Shoveling sand against the tide.
Easy solution but Mumbles is to dumb to see it..Put more police and and fine or arrest anyone drinking in public in the area. We could have a lot more cops if they were not getting paid over 100,000 a year with overtime. You could hire a lot of illegals with sticks to beat up lawbreakers in the area.
You have no clue. Arrest the homeless drinking in public? Fine them? What color is the sky in your world?
