text: Thug Gardens would be a better name these days. Ironically it is Elitche's extremely affordable season passes that make it a magnet for teenage thieves - and their victims. I find it hard to believe the park does not have video cameras which would catch most thefts. I also find it hard to believe the park does not have security who would be able to apprehend the thieves. But I guess they figure losing your backpack is the punishment for not paying their $2 locker fee.
