According to Parks & Rec’s proposal filed in June, the Golden Triangle only has one public park operated by the city: Civic Center Park, which has been under construction since last summer. Sawyer said she worries about “feral teenagers” riding e-scooters through a new park in the Golden Triangle, and tearing up grass. According to Sawyer, Parks & Rec told her that new bathrooms or porta-potties could not be placed in the park because there aren’t enough funds. Parks & Rec recently cut $11 million from its 2026 budget to help with the city’s $200 million budget shortfall. Councilman Chris Hinds represents the concrete-laden Golden Triangle neighborhood.
